Meanwhile, adult literacy education began in 2021 with the Jungjungang Literacy School and was designated in 2024 as an adult literacy institution accredited by the Ministry of Education. This year, for the first time, an elementary-level certification course was newly established. As a result, 10 students enrolled in the elementary-level certification course and 40 students joined the Jungjungang Literacy School, allowing older learners who previously missed out on education to continue their studies later in life.
