Incheon Metropolitan Office of Education

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] The Incheon Metropolitan Office of Education announced on the 16th that it will open the East Asia International Education Center next month, which will be responsible for systematic international education based on multiple languages.

The Office of Education established the East Asia International Education Center in response to the changes and demands of the global era, such as the advent of the 4th Industrial Revolution, the normalization of online and offline international exchanges, the increase in multicultural families, and the selection of jobs across borders.

The newly established center, expanded and reorganized from the World Citizenship Education Department within the Education Training Institute, consists of three departments: East Asia Education Cooperation, Multilingual Education, and General Affairs.

These departments operate international education research and policy development based on multiple languages, promote international exchanges, conduct teacher training, organize multilingual student camps, and run foreign language classes with native speakers.

Over the years, there are plans to establish an online international exchange system in preparation for COVID-19 situations and to set up an education cooperation secretariat with East Asian countries.

Superintendent Do Seonghun said, "We will complete the Incheon-type international education model by establishing a multilingual education and cooperation network with East Asian countries linked to career, college admission, and vocational education," adding, "This will be a great stepping stone for our students to grow as East Asian citizens."
