[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] The Ministry of Education announced on the 8th that the 2nd Overseas Korean Children’s Korean Language Picture Diary Contest online exhibition will be held until the 25th.

This contest saw participation from 473 overseas Korean children from 36 countries worldwide. Among them, 15 children, including Yoon Ji-yoo, who attends Dasom Korean School in the United States, received excellence awards. Yoon Ji-yoo expressed her respect and gratitude for the patriot Yu Gwan-sun in writing through an assignment to create a March 1st Movement poster while attending online classes.

This year, due to the impact of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), instead of face-to-face events, a bulletin board for the online exhibition will be set up on the website. For awardees who cannot visit Korea due to COVID-19, an online historical and cultural experience program featuring Gyeongbokgung Palace, Namsan, and the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) will be provided.

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Education Yoo Eun-hye delivers thanks and congratulations to all participating children through a video message. Minister Yoo stated, "We will actively support overseas Korean education so that many overseas Korean children around the world can continue learning Korean language, culture, and history anytime and anywhere."
