LGU+ Idle Nara Unveils Educational Content for Prospective Elementary School Students

[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Chae-eun] LG Uplus announced on the 31st that the ‘Nuri Classroom’ service provided on the infant IPTV platform ‘U+tv Idle Nara’ has introduced educational content for prospective elementary school students for the first time.

U+tv Idle Nara recently began exclusively offering 58 episodes of Hansol Education’s ‘Amazing Hangul Land’ and 24 episodes of ‘Amazing Math Land’ for 6-year-olds through the ‘Nuri Classroom’ service. Hansol Education is a premium education brand that won two awards in 2020 as the education brand chosen by parents.

Due to the postponement of daycare centers and kindergartens reopening to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), the scope of the existing Nuri Classroom target audience has been expanded from infants aged 3 to 5 to include 6-year-old prospective elementary school students to reduce learning gaps through homeschooling.

The newly introduced exclusive content aims for child-led customized play, aligning with the Nuri Curriculum’s educational policy of ‘child-centered, play-centered.’ Through this, children can learn exceptional language expression skills, mathematical thinking, and creative convergence abilities. In particular, ‘Amazing Hangul Land’ is very popular among parents, having won the infant education sector award for 13 consecutive years.

Since the Nuri Classroom revamp in March, the number of uses of the U+tv Idle Nara ‘Nuri Classroom’ service in March this year increased by 186% compared to the same period last year. This is analyzed to be due to the impact of COVID-19, which increased the number of infants staying at home due to the service revamp and school reopening delays.

LG Uplus, together with early childhood education experts, carefully selects appropriate themes and content tailored to children’s perspectives within five areas?physical movement and health, communication, social relationships, artistic experience, and natural exploration?according to the Nuri Curriculum policy, and provides them by age group through ‘Nuri Classroom.’ Moon Hyun-il, head of LG Uplus IPTV product division, said, “The impact of COVID-19 has made us deeply concerned about prospective elementary students who have not yet even set foot in elementary school,” adding, “We hope they spend meaningful time learning Hangul and math through play suited to their tendencies even at home.”
