[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Daeseop] The education industry is expanding free untact learning content services for students. These are benevolent activities by educational companies to support overcoming the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

Jaeneung Education recently extended the free service period of its elementary school learning program, 'Artificial Intelligence (AI) Math,' until June this year. Jaeneung AI Math is an edutech-based learning program covering the entire elementary school math curriculum. Any preschool or elementary student can access the Jaeneung Education website, enter basic information, and use the AI math program through consultation. Learning is possible immediately using tablets and smartphones.

Kyowon Group has been providing free learning content through online channels since the end of last month as part of its COVID-19 overcoming campaign. This campaign offers a total of 26,000 learning textbooks as well as learning and reading content owned by the group for free via Olleh TV and YouTube. In particular, online classes are provided through the YouTube Redpen AI channel. It consists of about 90 lectures covering essential subjects such as Korean, math, social studies, and science.

Daekyo opened the 'Summit Cherry Blossom Special Lecture,' a preview learning for the first semester math, for free through its Noonopi brand at the end of March this year. The Summit Cherry Blossom Special Lecture allows students from first grade elementary to first grade high school to learn core math concepts for free by searching 'Summit Special Lecture' on the YouTube channel. It provides learning content equivalent to about one semester for each grade.

An industry official said, "Long-term learning support is necessary for special situations such as online school openings," adding, "It is expected to alleviate the homeschooling burden on parents."
