The Korea Teachers' Credit Union signed an MOU to promote the purchase of products manufactured by people with severe disabilities.

The Korea Teachers Credit Union (Chairman Jeong Gap-yoon) announced on the 9th that it signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Incheon Metropolitan City Western Office of Education (Superintendent Lim Yong-ryeol) and the Incheon Metropolitan City Disabled Product Sales Facility (Director Kwak Gi-seong) to promote the purchase of products made by severely disabled people.

This agreement was established to create an environment where schools and educational institutions can more conveniently purchase products produced by people with severe disabilities based on the S2B electronic procurement system for educational institutions operated by the Korea Teachers Credit Union, and to expand the self-reliance foundation of local production facilities for people with disabilities.

According to the agreement, the three organizations plan to pursue various cooperative activities, including ▲ encouraging priority purchase of products produced by severely disabled people and use of local businesses through S2B for schools and educational institutions in the jurisdiction, ▲ supporting S2B registration of products produced by severely disabled people, and ▲ providing guidance on how to use S2B and providing education and training support to faculty, staff, and businesses.

Lee Sang-mok, head of the S2B business division of the Korea Teachers Credit Union, said, “This agreement is the starting point for cooperation that promotes the priority purchase of products made by people with severe disabilities and allows local communities and educational institutions to grow together.” He added, “We will continue to work to spread a fair public purchasing culture and expand the self-reliance foundation of local production facilities for people with disabilities.”
