Jeonbuk Provincial Office of Education (Superintendent Seo Geo-seok) is taking steps to revitalize educational donations.

According to the Office of Education on the 5th, this year’s educational donation plan has been established, and participants for individual and international student donation groups are being recruited.

Educational donation refers to providing human and material resources from society for non-profit use in educational activities at kindergarten, elementary, middle, and high school levels.

The Individual Donation Group selects experts in fields such as culture, literature, music, art, physical education, character education, science, engineering, foreign languages, broadcasting and media, medical care, economics, beauty, public service, and others, as well as retired teachers and university professors, through an open recruitment process.

The International Student Donation Group is open to international students enrolled in local universities who wish to participate in educational donations and promote their home country’s culture.

The educational donation groups are composed through institutional recommendations and individual applications. Those wishing to participate must complete application documents by the 23rd and submit them via official documents if institutionally recommended, or by mail or email to the Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province Office of Education’s Education Cooperation Division if applying individually.

Applicants will be reviewed by a screening committee, and approximately 60 individuals and 40 international students will be selected. Results will be notified individually, and selected educational donors will carry out educational donation activities at various schools across the province from March to December.

The International Student Donation Group introduces their home country’s culture, traditions, and language to elementary schools in the province, providing opportunities to learn about world cultures and raise multicultural awareness.

Im Gyeong-jin, head of the Education Cooperation Division, said, "We aim to activate educational donations by utilizing community resources in the curriculum to nurture creative future talents," adding, "We hope many people who wish to volunteer educational resources will participate to help foster students’ dreams and talents and support career, job, and experiential activities."
