In the 2023 academic year, 166 people obtained academic recognition from 10 institutions, including 113 for elementary and 53 for middle school levels.

The youngest among this year's academic achievers is Mr. Lee, aged 51, who completed the elementary course, and the oldest is Mr. Kim, aged 88, who also completed the elementary course.

Ha Yun-su, Superintendent of Busan Metropolitan Office of Education, said, “The beautiful challenge and passion for learning shown by our elders deeply inspire all of us,” adding, “Our education office will continue to operate various literacy and lifelong education programs solidly so that elders returning to learning can continue their education.”
