[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Choi Hyun-joo] The Gyeongnam Office of Education announced on the 22nd that it held the ‘Future Education Theme Park Establishment Advisory Group Appointment Ceremony and Content Development Business Agreement Ceremony’ at the Grand Mercure Ambassador Hotel in Changwon.

The Future Education Theme Park is an experiential exhibition hall for future education, future schools, and future classrooms. The Gyeongnam Office of Education is promoting the establishment of the first such park in Korea in the Seodong-ri area of Uiryeong-gun, following central investment approval from the Ministry of Education in October last year.

The Office of Education judged that alongside the spatial composition of the Future Education Theme Park, the development of future education content and educational programs and the enhancement of expertise are very important. Since October last year, it has been building a nationwide governance system and expanding participation from specialized institutions.

This appointment and agreement ceremony is the result of a two-year collaboration with 13 domestic expert professors and 27 related companies, following a nationwide public contest for Future Education Theme Park content conducted by the Office of Education in December last year under the slogan ‘Future Education Dreamed by Gyeongnam and Created Together by Korea.’

As for detailed content composition, the first floor of the basic experience hall will consist of the ‘Creative Convergence Playground,’ where future education is experienced through play; the ‘Digilog Adventure Zone,’ which supports the growth of future digital literacy skills; and a future education exhibition hall where future education trends can be viewed at a glance.

Additionally, the second and third floors will feature a future innovation space design utilizing hyper-connectivity and hyper-intelligence, which no one has attempted before, along with about 22 future classroom experience rooms centered on elementary and secondary school curricula, seven creative convergence workshops, and about 22 future classroom research institutes, becoming the core driving force opening the future of education in Gyeongsangnam-do.

Gyeongnam Superintendent of Education Park Jong-hoon requested through the agreement ceremony, “More difficult than constructing the building is preparing the programs and content that make up the substance. Please develop programs and content that can cultivate the core competencies required by future society by utilizing hyper-connectivity and hyper-intelligence technologies.”
