Ulsan Office of Education Achieves 100% Welfare Benefit Rate for Vulnerable Groups in Education

The beneficiary rate of the educational welfare support project by the Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education was found to be 100%, the highest in the nation along with Daegu and Jeju. The national average was surveyed at 58%.

According to the analysis of the status of elementary and middle school projects submitted by city and provincial offices of education by the office of Do Jong-hwan, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, the number of students eligible for the project in the Ulsan area is 8,951.

The Ulsan Office of Education operates 30 schools with many vulnerable students as priority schools for the educational welfare support project by assigning educational welfare officers.

For the 212 schools without assigned educational welfare officers, the Gangbuk and Gangnam Educational Welfare Safety Net Centers operate a system where educational welfare officers are responsible, supporting all eligible students.

The priority educational welfare support project designates schools with a high concentration of vulnerable students for focused support to improve students’ education, culture, and welfare levels and to reduce educational disparities.

Students at selected schools receive individualized integrated educational welfare services tailored to their personal situations and needs, including basic learning support, home visits and counseling, and cultural activity support.

Eligible students include recipients of educational benefits, children from low-income families, children from single-parent families, children of North Korean defectors under protection, children from multicultural families, special education students, and children recognized as refugees.

The Ulsan Office of Education is strengthening student-tailored integrated support with the goal of "Ulsan educational welfare that does not give up on a single child."

Support services are provided according to the level of need, categorized into general, intensive, and crisis types, tailored to the characteristics and situations of the students.

Student participation programs such as family participation programs and teacher-student companionship filling classes are being expanded, and autonomous programs suited to each school's conditions are also operated.

Based on a cooperative system linked with the local community, educational welfare officers are assigned to each school to establish a systematic and tailored support network, creating a dense educational welfare safety net.

The Ulsan Office of Education has formed the Educational Welfare Link Group composed of citizens active in various fields to provide customized support in six areas?learning, counseling, care, arts, sports, and career?for vulnerable students facing complex difficulties.

Last year, the satisfaction rate for Ulsan’s priority educational welfare support project was 99.1%, consistently high following 98.7% in 2020 and 98.8% in 2021.
