<School Enrollment Guidance for Registered Foreign Children Residing in Gyeonggi Province> 

Elementary school enrollment guidance will be provided for registered foreign children aged 6 who were excluded from school enrollment notifications and placed in educational blind spots. While 21 cities and counties participated last year, all of Gyeonggi’s 31 cities and counties are participating this year.

School enrollment guidance notices translated into 20 languages will be distributed.

 <Childcare Subsidies for Undocumented Foreign Children>

Gyeonggi Province will provide childcare subsidies, previously granted only to Korean nationals and registered foreign children, to undocumented foreign children as well, ensuring non-discriminatory childcare rights.

 This policy aims to guarantee equal childcare rights for all foreign children

<Expansion of the Public Verification System for Foreign Children Without Birth Registration>

The public verification system will be further expanded to support foreign children who had been left in blind spots due to the absence of birth registration.

Through this system, verification certificates will be issued to undocumented foreign children born in Korea and residing in Gyeonggi Province who have not been registered anywhere, with plans to provide access to public services and link them to support programs operated by private organizations.
