양평군은 다문화 자녀의 교육 기회 확대와 교육격차 해소를 위해 ▲초등생 40만 원, ▲중학생 50만 원, ▲고등학생 60만 원 씩 연 1회 지원하는 ‘다문화가족 자녀교육활동비 지원사업’을 2년 연속 시행하여 총 301명의 다문화자녀들에게 교육 활동비를 지원했다. 사업 대상은 7~18세 다문화가정의 한국 국적 자녀로, 재학생 뿐 아니라 교육 사각지대에 놓여있는 아동·청소년의 교육권 보장을 목표로 학교 밖 청소년까지 포함하여 추진되었다. 이번 사업은 단순한 경제적 지원을 넘어 자녀 교육에 대한 부모의 관심과 참여를 유도하고, 자녀의 진로 탐색과 학업 지속을 돕는 기반이 되고 있다. 또한 사업을 매개로 양평군 가족센터에 신규 등록한 다문화가정이 증가하면서 다양한 복지 서비스 접근과 혜택의 마중물 역할을 하고 있다는 평가도 받고 있다. 박우영 센터장은 “이 사업은 다문화 자녀들에게 학습 기회를 확대하는 것은 물론, 부모의 교육적 참여를 높이는 데에도 큰 의미가 있다”라며, “앞으로도 교육 사각지대에 있는 다문화 자녀들이 소외되지 않고 건강한 시민으로 성장할 수 있도록 다양한 지원을 이어가겠다. 아울러 지역사회가 다양성과 포용의 가치를 실현할 수 있도록 최선을 다하겠
