KF Holds 10th Anniversary Workshop for 'Global e-School Project'... Reviewing 10 Years of Achievements

Over the past 10 years, 735 courses offered at over 130 universities in 31 countries... 32,000 students enrolled

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Korea Foundation (KF) announced on the 4th that it will hold the 'KF Global e-School Workshop' on the 6th at the Chosun Hotel in Seoul.

The workshop will be attended by e-School officials and evaluators from a total of 11 universities including Kyung Hee University, Kyung Hee Cyber University, Korea University, Busan University of Foreign Studies, Seoul National University, Sungkyunkwan University, Sookmyung Women's University, Ewha Womans University, Chung-Ang University, Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, and Hanyang University. They will review the achievements of the past 10 years and discuss improvement tasks for a new leap forward with 'e-School 2.0.'

Previously, KF launched the 'KF Global e-School' project in 2011 to meet the increasing demand for Korean studies courses overseas. Now in its 10th year, this project has offered 1,735 Korean language and Korean studies courses to over 130 universities in 31 countries worldwide in cooperation with leading domestic universities, through which approximately 32,000 students have learned about Korea online.

In 2014, the 'e-School Fellowship,' an invitation program for outstanding students to visit Korea, was newly established. Through this fellowship, 605 students from 91 schools in 32 countries have visited Korea. In 2019, responding to the increased demand for Korean language education overseas fueled by the steady Korean Wave, the 'VOD-type Korean Language Education e-School' was newly launched.

KF Chairman Lee Geun said, “I hope this workshop will be a meaningful opportunity for participating domestic universities to share their know-how and derive groundbreaking development directions for online Korean studies courses,” adding, “I look forward to KF Global e-School firmly establishing itself as Korea’s representative online Korean studies lecture platform.”
