systems among such facilities; 2)active provision of relevant information; 3)the
effective placement of lifelong learning facilities and ; 4)providing and upgrading
school facilities for the convenient use of community members. Therefore, the
Ministry not only provides subsidies to local governments for improvement and
development of social education facilities, but also implements a program for
the construction of lifelong learning centers which serve as core community facilities
for promoting lifelong learning activities. Also in order to improve the function
and versatility of social education facilities as core facilities for lifelong
education in communities, the Ministry is providing funding through local boards
of education to assist planning and development of new and independent projects
in accordance with local conditions to support the activation of social education.
