Gyeonggi Office of Education to Expand Priority Support Project for Educational Welfare

The Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education is restructuring the Priority Support Project for Educational Welfare and will reassign specialized educational welfare personnel (educational welfare officers) on March 1 to strengthen support for students from vulnerable groups.

The Priority Support Project for Educational Welfare is a program that collaborates with families and local communities to build a community-centered regional education community led by schools, providing educational, welfare, and cultural support programs to enhance students' welfare.

The Provincial Office of Education announced on the 23rd that it plans to newly hire 14 educational welfare officers for schools with more than 100 students from vulnerable groups and expand the project to 131 schools this year by reallocating personnel from schools where the project has been terminated.

Since September last year, the Provincial Office of Education has assigned 19 fixed-term social welfare public officials to the education office and education support offices to support schools where the project has been terminated and schools without assigned educational welfare officers. Additionally, 25 education support offices are fully operating an educational welfare safety net to support the holistic growth of all students.

Um Shin-ok, Director of the Educational Welfare Division at the Provincial Office of Education, stated, "By reallocating specialized educational welfare personnel, we will assign educational welfare officers to schools with a high concentration of students from vulnerable groups and strengthen support through focused case management for students in need." She added, "We plan to establish a mid- to long-term support promotion system for schools without assigned educational welfare officers."
