This agreement is part of a support program designed to create a sustainable public education environment by jointly developing solutions that protect teachers from various risks and job-related stress encountered in educational settings.

To this end, Hanwha Insurance plans to collaborate with the Korean Federation of Teachers' Associations to develop a "healing program" for members of the federation, providing rest and recuperation for teachers who are feeling exhausted.

Furthermore, both organizations will work together to develop specialized insurance products that offer prompt and professional responses not only to cases of violence occurring in schools but also to liability issues arising during work.

The main areas of cooperation include: ▲ joint development of a healing program for teachers, ▲ development of insurance products specialized for disputes over infringement of teachers' rights, and ▲ provision of legal consultation support services to protect teachers' rights.

In particular, Hanwha Insurance plans to offer practical solutions to legal challenges that are difficult for individual school staff to resolve on their own, by providing a professional legal consultation service in partnership with the Korean Bar Association.

This move represents an expansion of Hanwha Insurance's capabilities in protecting rights and interests—built over the years as "the insurance company that understands women best"—into the education sector. The objective is to fulfill the company's social responsibility while also reinforcing the legal safety net in educational settings.

A representative of Hanwha Insurance stated, "We strongly empathize with the urgent need to protect educational rights, which have recently been undermined, and have entered into this agreement to establish a specialized support system that enables teachers to focus on educational activities with peace of mind," adding, "We will continue these meaningful efforts to support teachers by closely examining the challenges faced in education and leveraging our expertise as an insurance company."
