Jeonnam Office of Education Develops Educational Materials Utilizing 'Student Education Allowance'

Two Types Produced in e-Book Format

The Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education announced on August 25 that it has developed and distributed economic and career education materials utilizing the 'Jeonnam Student Education Allowance.' Starting this year, the 'Jeonnam Student Education Allowance' provides 100,000 won per month to all elementary school students in Jeonnam. This is the nation's first educational basic income policy, introduced last year.

The Office of Education produced customized educational materials in the form of e-books, aiming to go beyond simple financial support and help students with future planning and the development of economic awareness. The materials distributed to elementary schools in the province include two types: the 'Dream Realization Economics Class Teaching-Learning Process e-book' and the 'Student Education Allowance Workbook.'

The 'Dream Realization Economics Class Teaching-Learning Process e-book' consists of two lessons tailored to the characteristics of each grade group: grades 1-2, 3-4, and 5-6. The first lesson focuses on helping students understand the significance of the Jeonnam Student Education Allowance and create their own plans for realizing their dreams. The second lesson guides students to reflect on their actual allowance usage, examine their spending habits, and make and practice a 'Promise for Using the Allowance to Nurture Dreams.'

The student workbook features a variety of activity sheets, including quizzes, mind maps, usage plans, and growth diaries, so that it can be used not only in the classroom but also at home. In particular, lower grades are encouraged to express their dreams through picture diaries and making promises, while upper grades are guided to expand into value-oriented activities such as rational consumption, fairness, and eco-friendly consumption.

The teacher's guidebook provides detailed information on lesson objectives, teaching methods, and evaluation points, making it easy for teachers to use in the field. The Jeonnam Student Education Allowance, introduced last year, is the nation's first educational basic income policy, providing 100,000 won monthly to all elementary school students in Jeonnam starting this year. Approximately 75,000 elementary students in the province are benefiting from this policy.

An official from the Office of Education stated, "The Student Education Allowance is not just simple support but an opportunity for students to develop the ability to lead their own lives," adding, "This e-book will serve as a concrete example of how the allowance can become a learning experience and an educational opportunity."

Meanwhile, the Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education plans to analyze the results of the field application of these materials, supplement and develop follow-up content, and expand them into experiential learning programs that integrate career, economic, and consumer education.
