Visang Education announced on the 19th that it has signed an export contract for the Master K platform with the Korean School of Southern New Jersey.
Visang Education's Korean language education platform, 'Master K,' provides edutech solutions and services necessary for Korean language education to domestic public institutions and university language institutes. Recently, it has rapidly expanded its global export sector by signing contracts with educational institutions in Oman and Germany.
The Korean School of Southern New Jersey, which signed this contract, was established in July 1979 and was relaunched in 2009 by integrating six Korean language schools from churches near Cherry Hill. Since then, it has been dedicated to educating Korean American identity through teaching Korean language, history, and culture to Korean American children.
Visang Education will build a dedicated site for the Korean School of Southern New Jersey and provide edutech-based platform services necessary for Korean language education, including video conferencing solutions, a learning management system (LMS), smart learning solutions (klass), general Korean and TOPIK e-learning content, and AI-based Korean pronunciation evaluation.
In the United States, the need for Korean language education aimed at establishing identity as Koreans and forming bonds is increasing day by day. As of 2021, the Korean American population in the U.S. reached approximately 2.63 million. The National Association of Korean Schools (NAKS) reported having 424 member schools.
Kim Jeongsuk, principal of the Korean School of Southern New Jersey, stated, “With the introduction of Master K, we expect to maximize the effectiveness of Korean language education by combining the advantages of face-to-face and non-face-to-face classes,” adding, “We also plan to offer online Korean language education programs to local Americans who show great interest in the Korean Wave.”
No Jungil, CEO of Visang Education GEO Core Group, said, “We are honored that Master K will contribute to the Korean language learning of children of Korean immigrants in the U.S.,” and added, “As the Korean American community continues into the third and fourth generations, we will strive to help Korean American children build their Korean ethnic identity through Korean language learning and to establish Korean language education in public education settings such as American universities and middle and high schools.”
