On the 12th, the Gyeongnam Office of Education Future Education Foundation received a sponsorship of 20 million KRW for the ‘Ijoha Savings Account Project’ from KT Corporation Busan Gyeongnam Metropolitan Headquarters.

According to the foundation, this project is operated by selecting first-year high school students chosen by the Gyeongnam Future Education Foundation to provide opportunities for higher education to children from low-income families, and linking each selected student with their family to save and support 60,000 KRW monthly for three years on a 1:1 basis.

KT, which donated the funds, practices sharing with the local community through various social contribution activities such as online Korean language classes for multicultural families and digital-related education including media literacy.
