The Native Speaker Video English Program connects students in real time with professional native-speaking instructors abroad, providing personalized English education tailored to each level. In addition to video lessons, the program also supports post-lesson learning management, such as review sessions and unit-based video lectures. Eligible participants include children residing in the district from age 5 up to 12th grade in high school. Last year, the program expanded its eligibility from only first graders in elementary school to include children as young as five years old.

The classes are offered as one-on-one individual lessons, as well as 1-to-3 and 1-to-4 group lessons, with the district subsidizing the tuition fee of 18,000 won. For socially disadvantaged students, the district fully covers both the group lesson tuition and textbook fees.

The Real-time Education Broadcast program is designed to help elementary school students improve basic academic skills and develop self-directed learning habits. The district is recruiting about 50 students in grades 3 to 6 at local elementary schools. Students choose one subject from Korean, English, Math, Social Studies, or Science, and participate in real-time online classes twice a week for two months. Of the monthly tuition fee of 40,000 won, the district covers 30,000 won, so students only need to pay 10,000 won per month. Socially disadvantaged students receive full support, and up to two class vouchers can be purchased per student.

Applications can be submitted via QR codes provided for each learning site. Enrollment for the Native Speaker Video English Program (about 600 students) is on a first-come, first-served basis until June 23 and June 30, while registration for the Real-time Education Broadcast program (about 50 students) is open until June 30. For more details, please contact the Future Education Division.

District Mayor Choi Hogwon stated, "I hope this educational support initiative will help students develop self-directed learning capabilities, while also easing the financial burden of education for parents."
