Don't Skip Breakfast... Dong-Eui University of Science and Technology Offers "1,000-Won Breakfast" Program

Dong-Eui University of Science and Technology has resumed its 1,000-won breakfast program this year.

The university, led by President Kim Youngdo, announced on March 6 that it has launched the "1,000-Won Breakfast" initiative, providing students with affordable breakfasts with support from the Korea Agency of Education, Promotion and Information Service in Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries.

The "1,000-Won Breakfast" is a policy aimed at providing quality meals to college students, who have a high rate of skipping breakfast. The Korea Agency of Education, Promotion and Information Service in Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries supports 2,000 won per meal, and the Busan Metropolitan Government provides an additional 1,000 won, so that students only pay 1,000 won for a breakfast made with rice or rice-based products.

Dong-Eui University of Science and Technology will operate this program for a total of 149 days from March 3 to December 18, excluding vacation periods and public holidays. During the semester, healthy breakfasts are served to students from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. on weekdays.

The university explained that the program received high participation and positive feedback from students last year.

Shim Sungyong, chief administrative officer at Dong-Eui University of Science and Technology, stated, "The 1,000-Won Breakfast program helps students form healthy eating habits and reduces their financial burden. Last year, we saw strong participation and positive responses during the program period. We will continue to seek practical support measures to improve student welfare and the academic environment."

The university described this initiative as an example of cooperation between the university and the government to address students' everyday needs and create a healthy learning environment. Based on this year's results, the university plans to continue the "1,000-Won Breakfast" program next year as well.
