Gimpo City to Prioritize Support for Low-Income Households
30,000 Seoul Students Participated in the Past Three Years
Seoul's representative educational welfare project, 'Seoul Run,' is becoming a nationwide policy. Following last year's agreements with Chungcheongbuk-do and Pyeongchang-gun to provide educational opportunities for local students, this time Gimpo City has agreed to share the Seoul Run platform and cooperate in policy adoption.
On the morning of the 25th, Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon met with Gimpo Mayor Kim Byung-su at Gimpo City Hall and signed a "Business Agreement to Bridge the Educational Gap" based on this content.
Seoul Run is an online education platform launched by Seoul City in 2021 that offers free internet lectures to low-income elementary, middle, and high school students. Over the past three years, about 30,000 students have participated, and among 1,084 high school seniors and above who took Seoul Run courses in last year's College Scholastic Ability Test, 682 were admitted to universities. Notably, a 2023 Seoul Institute survey showed that students' grades improved after using Seoul Run.
Through this agreement, Seoul City will support Gimpo City in sharing the Seoul Run platform and adopting the policy, while Gimpo City plans to focus on bridging the educational gap within the region based on this. Starting in the second half of this year, Gimpo City will launch an educational support project using the Seoul Run platform for low-income high school students. Students will receive not only customized online learning content but also mentoring support.
