First 600 Applicants Only... Easing the Burden of Private Education Costs

Jeonju City, North Jeolla Province, is recruiting 600 middle and high school students on a first-come, first-served basis to participate in its Internet College Entrance Exam Broadcast Tuition Support Program until the 31st.


According to the city on the 23rd, this project was launched to alleviate the financial burden of private education costs for parents and to provide equal educational opportunities for youth.

The city plans to subsidize 35,000 won out of the annual tuition fee of 45,000 won per participant, so students only need to pay 10,000 won. However, recipients of basic living subsidies, those in the second-lowest income bracket, and single-parent families?considered socially disadvantaged groups?can take the courses free of charge without any limit on the number of participants.


The city will verify eligibility, including residency in Jeonju, and notify selected individuals individually in early January next year. For more details, inquiries can be made to the Youth Policy Division at Jeonju City Hall.


This Internet College Entrance Exam Broadcast Tuition Support Program is based on a joint-use agreement signed between the city and Gangnam District Office. Gangnam Ingang offers a total of approximately 1,360 courses for students from first year of middle school to third year of high school, allowing students to freely select courses according to their level.


A city official said, "We hope that this Internet College Entrance Exam Broadcast support will help ease the burden of private education costs and serve as a valuable opportunity for academic improvement."
