'Paldal Daycare Harmony Operation Project' Recognized by Suwon and Gyeonggi Province

[Suwon Ilbo=Seo Dong-young Reporter] Paldal-gu announced on the 11th that it was selected in the Gyeonggi Province-led '2020 Job Policy Market Project' competition and secured 220 million won in provincial budget.

The 'Job Policy Market Project' is an initiative to improve public services and create a good job environment by discovering job policies with high job creation effects. Seven cities and counties, including Paldal-gu, and four public institutions were selected as competitive project operators.

The district submitted the 'Suwon Paldal Daycare Harmony Operation Project' in the competition. In a situation where foreign children exceed 10% of the daycare population, it is a plan to resolve communication difficulties between childcare staff, children, and parents. To this end, foreign (multicultural) women who have obtained Korean language qualifications are hired and placed as childcare staff.

The district previously placed and operated two childcare staff members capable of foreign language (Chinese) as harmony teachers through the 'New-Il' public job project last year.

It received awards in the '2019 Suwon Regulatory Reform,' 'Outstanding Civil Affairs Cases,' and 'Paldal-gu Outstanding Policy Evaluation.'

The district explained that daycare centers are also receiving high positive responses and the necessity of multicultural childcare staff has been verified.
