Consortium of Education Companies, Busan National University of Education, and Silla University to Operate Busan-Ulsan-Gyeongnam Project

Pukyong National University (President Jang Youngsoo) has been selected as the operating institution for the ‘2024 Fall Semester Neulbom School Customized Program for First Graders’ project.

The Ministry of Education, 17 Metropolitan and Provincial Offices of Education, the Korea Foundation for the Advancement of Science and Creativity, and the Korea Arts & Culture Education Service held an open call to select institutions that will support customized programs for first-grade elementary school students, including school adaptation support and play-based arts and physical education activities, as the Neulbom School program is being fully expanded nationwide this year.

Pukyong National University was selected as the operating institution for the Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam regions in this nationwide competition, which divided the country by region. The university will receive a project budget of 320 million KRW to operate the program in the 2024 fall semester.

With this selection, Pukyong National University will lead the project through the Gyeongsang Region Education Donation Hub Center (Director Lee Sanggil), forming a consortium with education institutions such as Tedu Education Promotion Institute and Eduvision. The Department of Education at Busan National University of Education, the Department of Education at Silla University, Sangsangharu, Nol-it, and Doit Science will also participate as partner organizations.

Based on its experience as the operating institution for the Neulbom School Customized Program for First Graders last semester, Pukyong National University plans to establish Neulbom Education Hub Centers in the three regions of Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam, and operate Neulbom School education programs (1,800 sessions) for more than 60 classes at 30 schools.

In particular, by linking with the university’s Center for Teaching and Learning Support, Pukyong National University will not only provide support for monitoring and performance analysis of various learning programs, but also collaborate with the Centers for Teaching and Learning Support at universities across the southeastern region to connect human resources, enabling university students to participate in the Neulbom School education programs.

Lee Sanggil, Director of the Gyeongsang Region Education Donation Hub Center at Pukyong National University, stated, “Through this project, we will establish a Neulbom School support system involving universities, companies, and institutions in a public-private partnership, and strive to discover and expand customized programs for first-grade elementary school students.”
