The ‘Dreams Come–True Class’ campaign is one of the company’s ‘Dreams Come–True’ projects that connect outstanding university honor students from local universities with middle school students from underprivileged low-income households, as well as also providing scholarship opportunities for college students and opportunities for middle school students to experience a quality education. The program will be carried out as an afterschool care program to enable the selected middle school students to study English and Mathematics for 4 hours per week, totaling 8 hours of afterschool studies. The tutors selected to teach these study-areas of acute need for the students were selected from a pool of university recommendations from the local Chonbuk National University and Jeonju National University of Education.

The expansion of this program follows the high satisfaction level evidenced from both teachers and students after the first implementation at Deokil Middle School last year, with the same number of approximately 30 students at Gonji Middle School now being able to benefit from this program. Ms. Lee Kyung-Hee, in charge of student education and welfare at Deokil Middle School said “the scholastic aptitude of the participating students was greatly enhanced and the college students were also very satisfied with the scholarships they received while teaching students from
their particular major field of studies.”

It has pledged to continue operating its various ‘Dreams Come–True’ projects.
