[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Sharon] The Gyeongsangnam-do Office of Education is operating the online 'On-Nuri Learning Program' to support exchanges that can continue in the difficult situation of international exchange due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

The 'On-Nuri Learning Program' is an international educational exchange activity planned with the keywords 'On Nuri,' a pure Korean word meaning the world people live in, and 'learning.'

This program supports students in developing international communication skills to grow as global democratic citizens and embodies the province's will to move beyond the crisis toward future education.

The Office of Education's International Education Exchange Center supports the program through various methods such as matching with foreign schools, providing lists of international education exchange projects and student educational materials, and operating workshops for teachers in charge, with plans to gradually expand in the future.

Hong Jeong-hee, Director of Career Education, said, "As the saying goes, 'A crisis is an opportunity,' if the capabilities accumulated through remote classes due to COVID-19 are applied to international exchange, more students will have opportunities to communicate with foreign friends, which we hope will greatly help enhance students' international communication skills."
