According to Pocheon City on the 24th, the city has recently been exploring various methods to eliminate educational disparities within the region, improve academic achievement for elementary, middle, and high school students, and reduce the burden of private education expenses.

The ‘EBS AI Public Learning Center’ is established as part of an educational policy to address local issues such as the trend of relocating residences to nearby cities for private education, the burden of private education expenses, marriage, and low birth rates.

The public learning centers will be operated through private consignment for eight months from May to December. A total of seven centers will provide educational support to about 230 students, with each center accommodating a minimum of 20 and a maximum of 60 students (simultaneously).

Each center plans to offer customized (level-based) learning services through the EBS commuting learning support system. Additionally, if necessary, they will provide ‘Learning Management Homeroom Teacher Service’ to responsibly assist with learning management, online counseling (mentoring), and lectures (tutoring).

Pocheon City expects that through this initiative, students facing difficulties in learning due to local educational conditions will be able to achieve better results.

Mayor Baek Young-hyun of Pocheon said, “The operation of the EBS AI Public Learning Center is an important first step in realizing equal educational opportunities,” adding, “We will eliminate educational disparities within the region, reduce the burden of private education expenses, and elevate the overall educational environment of Pocheon City to the next level.”
