2. Social Welfare
Social welfare is an encompassing and imprecise term, but most often it is defined in terms of "organized activies", "intervention", or some other element that suggests policy and programs to respond to recognized social problems or to improve the well-being of those at risk.
3. Government's New Plans to Support Multi-cultural Families
As the number of multi-cultural families keeps increasing in Korea, the government came up with programs to better support them.
To help the multi-cultural families living here adapt to our society well, public facilities will offer support programs such as Korean language learning classes.
The Ministry for health, Welfare and Family Affairs announced last week that it would choose five public educational facilities by July to provide customized services for the growing multi-cultural community.
"We expect to take in about 200 multi-cultural children at each center, which means about 1,000 of them will be granted to participate in the programs," ministry officials said.
According to the ministry officials, educational programs for multi-cultural parents and their children will be developed by September.
The programs will include Korean language courses and lessons in traditional Korean culture. |
