Namdong-gu, Incheon, is launching a support project to expand lifelong education participation for people with disabilities.


The district announced on the 5th that it was selected last month in the first local government-targeted 'Lifelong Education Voucher Support Project for People with Disabilities' contest hosted by the Ministry of Education.


The voucher application target is registered persons with disabilities aged 19 or older who have their resident registration address in Namdong-gu, and applications will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis through 'Bojogeum 24'.


The voucher can only be used by the eligible individual and provides annual support of 350,000 KRW, which can be used for lifelong education course tuition fees and related course materials. However, if the applicant has already received a general lifelong education voucher or similar support, duplicate support is not allowed.


For inquiries about application methods or procedures, contact the Lifelong Education Voucher Counseling Call Center for People with Disabilities at 1668-0420.



Park Jonghyo, Mayor of Namdong-gu, said, "Being selected for the contest project has created an opportunity for people with disabilities to participate in lifelong education," adding, "We will strive further to become a lifelong learning city where everyone can enjoy learning without any blind spots."
