The National Palace Museum's online educational programs for elementary and middle school classes will be expanded. Due to many class applications, the number of participants will increase from 1,950 to about 3,600. According to the National Palace Museum on the 20th, seventy-eight schools have applied for this program. Fifty-eight of them are located outside Seoul. This includes thirty-five in Gyeonggi-do, seven in Gyeongsangnam-do, five in Gangwon-do, and four in Incheon Metropolitan City. An official stated, "This is the result of shifting education from on-site to online following the COVID-19 pandemic," adding, "Now, students from various regions can participate."

The programs offered this time are four: "Exploring Royal Relics in Textbooks," "Find the Specialist in Royal Paintings!," "I Want to Know About the King," and "Journey to Donggwol." Each program helps participants understand and experience the culture of the Joseon royal family. The target audience includes elementary school after-school care classes (grades 1-3), elementary school grades 5-6, and middle school grades 1-2. Starting from the 2nd of next month, programs for families and adults will also be available.

A sign language program for hearing-impaired students, "Sign Language with Family (Children's Edition)," will also be released.
