Exchange Delivers Sponsorship Funds to Busan Juvenile Detention Center: "Supporting Basic Academic Achievement"

The Korea Exchange has delivered sponsorship funds to support juvenile detainees in taking the qualification exam and acquiring basic academic skills.

On the 7th, the Exchange donated 15 million won to Busan Oryun School (Busan Juvenile Detention Center). The term 'juvenile detainees' refers to youths who, under the Juvenile Act, are undergoing rehabilitation through detention or probation as a result of protective measures.

This sponsorship will be used to purchase qualification exam textbooks (30 sets for middle school graduates and 180 sets for high school graduates) as well as learning devices for viewing online video lectures.

The Exchange has been continuously promoting support programs to help juvenile detainees obtain basic academic credentials through qualification exams, aiming to address the difficulties they face in career development and employment due to insufficient educational backgrounds during social reintegration.

Jung Eunbo, Chairman of the Exchange, stated, "We hope that this support will allow juvenile detainees to continue their studies and lay a stable foundation for returning to society," and added, "We will continue to provide unwavering interest and support so that juvenile detainees can confidently become members of society, with Busan as our base."
