After the lesson demonstrations, there will be a time for questions and discussions to collectively contemplate and explore directions for classroom lesson innovation. Future-oriented teaching and learning methods and materials for all secondary school subjects will be shared through the metaverse platform and the Lesson Sharing Festival homepage.

Director of Education Kwon Young-geun said, “I hope this will greatly help in seeking directions for educational innovation that can respond to future society and strengthening teachers’ practical capabilities for improving future-oriented classroom lessons.” He added, “Furthermore, we will continuously strive to establish a learner-customized education foundation that maximizes the development of each student’s abilities and to transform classroom lessons to nurture future talents.”
