[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] On the 3rd, the Gyeongnam Office of Education opened the ‘Gyeongnam-style IT (Information Technology) Education Center’ in Haiphong City, Vietnam.

The provincial Office of Education stated that since 2005, it has supported educational informatization equipment in Vietnam and conducted training for Vietnamese teachers to promote educational informatization in Vietnam.

The education center was established to strengthen the friendship built with Vietnam so far and to bridge the gap in educational informatization.

The center was prepared by renovating three classrooms within the Haiphong Lifelong Education Center in Vietnam and consists of ▲a computer room for IT education practice ▲a creative convergence room for flexible IT education practice ▲a multi-level sarangbang (a traditional Korean-style room) serving as a student rest area and a research space for teachers.

The Office of Education plans to dispatch two teachers to the education center to share Gyeongnam education content such as the big data and artificial intelligence (AI) platform Itoktok with local teachers and support education.

The group of teachers belonging to the provincial Office of Education will conduct informatization training for 60 Vietnamese teachers from the 3rd to the 5th, and some local teachers are scheduled to be invited to Gyeongnam for training at the end of October.

Superintendent Park Jong-hoon departed on a 3-night, 5-day trip and visited local educational sites such as Tan Xuan Middle School in Hanoi, Tran Phu High School in Haiphong, and the Haiphong Lifelong Education Center.

He also visited the Vietnamese Ministry of Education and Training and the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Vietnam to request cooperation and interest in the educational informatization support project between the Office of Education and Vietnam.

Superintendent Park said, “I hope the Gyeongnam-style IT Education Center will contribute to enhancing the educational informatization capabilities of Vietnamese teachers and students and become a key hub where we can share the student-customized future education system that our Office of Education is creating. We will continue to devote consistent interest and efforts for exchange and cooperation between Korea and Vietnam.”

Nguyen Hu Do, Vice Minister of the Vietnamese Ministry of Education and Training, said, “I express my gratitude to the Gyeongnam Office of Education and Superintendent Park Jong-hoon for their long-term support of Vietnam’s educational informatization and contribution to the development of special education.”
