Iksan City in Jeollabuk-do will provide lifelong education vouchers worth 350,000 won to registered disabled individuals aged 19 and older.

Those who are already receiving lifelong education vouchers or national scholarships are not eligible for duplicate support. Once selected, beneficiaries can receive a Chaeum Card from their local Nonghyup branch, which can be used to pay for course fees and textbooks at lifelong education institutions nationwide. Both online and offline courses are available, and eligible institutions can be checked on the Lifelong Education Voucher website.

Applications can be submitted through the Subsidy24 system until the 31st. If online application is difficult, applicants can download the application form from the Iksan City Lifelong Learning Center website and submit it via email to the person in charge. For more details, please contact the Lifelong Education Voucher Call Center for the Disabled or the Iksan City Lifelong Learning Center.

Mayor Jung Heon-yul stated, "We will spare no effort to support people with disabilities so they can develop their abilities and participate more actively in society through lifelong education," adding, "By expanding learning opportunities, we will create a happier Iksan for everyone."
