government decided to apply for universities that returned some of the tuition fees to students in the aftermath of Corona19. The total budget is 100 billion won, but rich colleges that have accumulated over 100 billion won in school money are excluded from government support.

<Reporter> As the

non-face-to-face class has continued since Corona19, the government decided to inject an emergency budget of 100 billion won into the university as students' requests for refund of tuition became lawsuits.

Priority is given to 48 universities that have made efforts to return tuition fees, such as the provision of special scholarships.

760 billion won was allocated to the general university, and 24 billion won was allocated to the junior college, but it was decided to exclude the portion that was used to return the tuition fee by returning the previous scholarship.

In addition, 21 universities, including Hongik University, whose reserves exceeded 100 billion won, were excluded from the application.

Government grants are not used to apply directly to students, such as tuition waiver for the second semester.

As it seems that online classes will continue in the second semester, it should be used to improve the non-face-to-face educational environment, such as increasing the university's computer servers or installing lecture studios.

The Ministry of Education predicts that there will always be universities that are pursuing tuition refunds with this application, but the universities say that the tuition is inadequate compared to the amount of tuition refunds.

[University official: If I split with a 100 billion won budget, I'm going to go back to college. You don't know too much about the financial structure of the university.]

The government will receive a business plan by September and finalize the amount of application for each university in October.
