The Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education (Superintendent Lim Tae-hee) is actively expanding partnerships with advanced companies to strengthen teachers' capabilities in digital-based instructional innovation.

The Office announced on the 3rd that from the 2nd to the 23rd, it will operate a "Company Visit Teacher Training" program divided into four sessions, with over 160 elementary and secondary school teachers participating.

The main training content includes ▲ understanding educational changes in the digital era ▲ understanding and practicing educational technology (EdTech) tools for application in school settings.

Participating teachers visit advanced digital utilization companies (Microsoft Korea, Apple Korea) to explore digital platforms and program practice, as well as classroom teaching methods using digital devices.

Teachers participating in the training are expected to play a leading role in digital-based instructional innovation by applying corporate educational technology to classroom teaching in school settings.

Lee Jeong-hyun, Director of the Education Capability Policy Division at the Office of Education, said, “We planned this training to allow teachers to experience the educational operating systems and educational technology tools of digital companies and to utilize them diversely in their classes.” He added, “As curriculum experts, we will continue to actively support teachers so they can fully demonstrate their digital capabilities for student-tailored education.”
