Minister of Science and ICT Visits EBS Situation Room: "Hope K Remote Education System Expands Overseas"

[Asia Economy Reporter Joeslgina] Choi Ki-young, Minister of Science and ICT, visited the on-site technical control room of the Korea Educational Broadcasting System (EBS) on the 21st to encourage the staff who are quietly working behind the scenes in response to the unprecedented online school opening.

The on-site technical control room, which has been operating since the 14th, was formed with the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Science and ICT, EBS, LG CNS, SK Broadband, Microsoft, Ubion, Bespin Global, National Information Society Agency, Korea Internet & Security Agency, and others to quickly diagnose and respond to issues occurring in the ‘Online Class’ platform.

At the site, Minister Choi said, "Building a large-scale system capable of accommodating 6 million students simultaneously in just a few weeks is unprecedented worldwide," and added, "This was possible thanks to the tireless efforts of everyone here who worked overnight." The 6 million refers to the number of students that can be accommodated by the EBS Online Class and e-Hakseupter platforms.

He continued, "Just as our quarantine system and diagnostic kits have been recognized as the best in the world, I hope that our current remote education system (K Remote Education System) and accumulated know-how will become a standard and expand overseas."
