Unification Education in the COVID Era... Significant Expansion of Cyber Lectures

Unification Education Institute Joins 'Social Distancing' Effort

As the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) spreads and the 'social distancing' campaign is actively promoted, unification education is also being replaced by online and cyber lectures instead of offline classes.

On the 24th, the Unification Education Institute announced, "To prevent the spread of COVID-19 and continuously promote peace and unification education, on-site group education will be reduced and cyber education will be expanded."

The institute has converted the Unification Policy Leader Course and the Unification Future Planning Course, which were previously conducted as on-site group education, into cyber education.

To replace the group education that is not being conducted due to the COVID-19 situation, unification education materials are also being provided through new media such as the Unification Education Institute website (www.uniedu.go.kr) and YouTube (Center for Peaceful Unification Education, Ministry of Unification Unification Education Institute).

As of March 23, 2020, the number of participants who completed cyber unification education reached 33,025, the highest ever for the same period. This is an increase of more than 14,000 compared to the total of 19,007 in March last year.

The institute stated, "It is expected that the demand for cyber unification education will continue to increase until the COVID-19 situation is resolved," and added, "We plan to actively respond to the increased demand for cyber unification education by ▲expanding the number of participants per lecture ▲introducing new courses ▲diversifying content."
