Yeoncheon County will receive operational funding for the center for up to three years from the Ministry of Education. This center will be established as part of the Education Development Special Zone project, and the facilities within the Unification Lifelong Education Center will be remodeled to create a dedicated learning space.

A learning coordinator dispatched directly from EBS will diagnose and manage students' learning levels and provide tailored guidance across all aspects of their daily lives.

In addition, the center will support personalized learning plans for each student based on EBS programs (such as textbooks, lectures, and AI-based learning assessment services). It will also offer real-time video tutoring with university students, enabling Q&A sessions and academic counseling in core subjects such as English and mathematics.

Kim Deokhyeon, the Governor of Yeoncheon County, stated, "Being selected for the Self-Directed Learning Center will give local students the opportunity to learn independently without relying on private education. By collaborating with EBS, we will establish a high-quality learning support system, strengthen students' academic capabilities, and take the lead in narrowing the educational gap between regions."
