Hwaseong City Holds "7th Academic Credit Bank System Freshman Admission Ceremony"

The 7th freshman admission ceremony for Hwaseong City's Academic Credit Bank System, filled with enthusiasm for learning with the arrival of spring, was held at Suwon Science University on the 7th.

Since 2008, the Hwaseong City Academic Credit Bank System has selected 30 graduates and high school graduates from residents within the city who are eager to study, allowing them to acquire qualifications as social workers and childcare teachers (Level 2) by completing a 2-year associate degree program in child and family studies.

Taking into consideration the high turnover rate of childcare teachers in Hwaseong City and the difficulty in securing adequate teaching staff, it is expected that childcare teachers trained through the academic credit bank system will contribute to teacher recruitment by being connected to employment at childcare centers in the local community.

The city supports 50% of tuition for the operation of the academic credit bank system, and this year's freshmen were selected from applicants ranging in age from their 30s to 50s.

Baek Sung-gi, Director of the Welfare and Environment Division, urged, "Over the next two years of study, even if there are difficult times, please complete the associate degree program without dropping out and acquire all the desired certificates, becoming confident women who contribute to the development of the local community."
