Hyundai Motor Group Supports Education for Students with North Korean Backgrounds

Hyundai Motor Group is joining forces with South Korea's Ministry of Unification and the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education to foster a stable educational environment and nurture future talent among students with North Korean backgrounds. This initiative aims to provide crucial support for their academic and personal development.

The partnership was formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed at Yeomyeong School in Gangseo-gu, Seoul. The agreement outlines the roles of each participating entity: the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education will provide the closed-off Yeomok Elementary School site in Gangseo-gu free of charge for the new school construction. The Ministry of Unification will support the project through administrative and policy improvements, while Hyundai Motor Group will provide funding for the new school building. Yeomyeong School will oversee the construction and operation of the new facilities.

Beyond financial and infrastructural support, Hyundai Motor Group is committed to implementing tailored talent development programs for current students and alumni. These programs include the "H-Jump School," a university student mentoring initiative offering support in foundational subjects like English, Math, and Science. Additionally, career exploration workshops, job-specific lectures, and the establishment of an alumni network are planned. Graduates pursuing higher education will also receive financial assistance through the Hyundai Chung Mong-Koo Foundation's "Heroes Scholarship" program, covering tuition and living expenses.
