More financial support to pay off interest on student loans
Postgraduates to receive same benefits as undergraduates

Starting this year, postgraduate students will be eligible for state funding to pay off interest rates on student loans. Up until last year, the financial support was only offered to undergraduate students. But the government has expanded the eligibility requirements to include both university and graduate school students this year.

The provincial government will also provide university students in Jeju up to one year’s funding for overseas study programs. Priority for the financial support will be given to students from low-income families.

Free vaccinations for cervical cancer

And the cervical cancer vaccine has been included in the list of free vaccines offered by the nation from this year. Girls and women aged 12 and up can get the injections free of charge two times a year.

Ko In-sook / Provincial dept. of disease control and prevention
It’s very effective in preventing (cervical cancer) so we offer the shots to girls as young as 12 years old. You can get the injections from health clinics or private medical centers.

And the government will shoulder some of the financial burden that comes with dental treatment for the elderly this year.

Previously, national funding for implants and dentures was offered to people aged 70 and over, but from 2016, the age restriction has been lowered to 65.

In the farming industry, all dry-field farms that were used between 2012 and 2014 will receive support funds this year.

INTERVIEW
Lee Woo-cheol / Provincial agricultural administration dept.
Regardless of the type of crop grown, even farms that aren’t currently being used, all dry-field farms will be eligible to receive 400,000 won per hectare. The idea is to encourage farmers to use the land and grow self-sufficient vegetation with it.

And a new safety insurance for fishermen will ensure that the state covers 50 percent of insurance costs for work related illness.

Fishing boats can also be used for leisure activities such as skin scuba diving this year, as long as they are equipped with the necessary safety apparatus.
