[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Choi Hyunju] The Gyeongnam Office of Education announced on the 1st a plan to promote smart sports under the theme "Sports, Immersed in the 4th Industrial Revolution."

The smart sports promotion plan consists of three areas: ▲ enhancing teachers' capabilities to operate smart sports classes ▲ creating a non-face-to-face sports environment ▲ and pursuing continuous policy support.

The establishment of the Office of Education's smart sports promotion plan is expected to complete the four major policy tasks, including strengthening school physical education, to realize the goal of Gyeongnam school sports: "All students exercising, student-athletes studying."

Furthermore, since virtual reality and augmented reality are recognized as important technologies such as the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence in the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution, it is anticipated to become an innovative model of school physical education that integrates online and offline physical education classes, 4th Industrial Revolution-linked sports competitions, and sports competitions in virtual reality spaces.

Baek Woonhyun, Director of Physical Education, Arts, and Health at the Gyeongnam Office of Education, said, "Through the promotion of smart sports, we will increase children's interest in physical education classes as a platform related to the 4th industry, and activities in ICT-based virtual reality spaces will help physical education classes and career education."
