Those wishing to receive alternative education must apply for entrusted education through their affiliated school, and the school's dropout prevention committee will review and decide on the entrustment.

The school principal recommends students to the entrusted education institution, and after one week of adaptation education, the full entrusted education begins. After completing the entrusted education, students can return to their original school and continue their school life.

The Office of Education supports capacity building by providing budget support for curriculum operation, training for staff, and consulting to the designated institutions.

Additionally, in preparation for an increase in students at risk of dropping out, the Office plans to consider additional designations in areas with demand and guide national and public educational institutions, affiliated institutions, and public organizations to participate in alternative education to ensure public accessibility.

Um Sin-ok, Director of the Educational Welfare Division at the Office of Education, emphasized, "We designated the entrusted alternative education institutions considering regional demand, local characteristics, and accessibility to enhance their effectiveness," adding, "We will strive to solidify the entrusted education institutions so that they provide diverse and specialized alternative education."
