Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education and KT Sign 'Online Night School' Agreement... University Student Mentor Program Operation

Expanding Real-Time Interactive Video Classes for Middle School Students Using Edutech Platforms

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] The Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education announced on the 19th that it has signed a business agreement with KT at the KT Gwanghwamun Building Olleh Square to operate the after-school customized mentoring program "Raenseon Yagak" using an edutech platform.

Through this program, middle school students under the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education who need learning support due to prolonged remote classes and university student mentors selected by KT will form online groups of 1 to 3 to support students' learning after school.

The program will be piloted for middle school students in Seoul from this month until March next year, and from April, the support target will be expanded to include elementary and high school students.

Among the mentees, 300 middle school students were selected under the supervision of the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education, and 100 university student mentors from Seoul-based universities such as Seoul National University and Korea University were selected under KT's supervision. They will use an edutech platform capable of real-time interactive video classes to provide learning support and counseling for subjects requested by the middle school students for 4 hours a week.
