Strengthening Educational Cooperation through Inter-School Visits and Joint Curriculum Research

Gyeongbuk Office of Education Signs Online MOU with Three Schools in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, China.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Gwi-yeol] The Gyeongbuk Office of Education held an online MOU signing ceremony between three schools in the province and three schools in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, China.

This online MOU signing ceremony began in March following a proposal from Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, China, and was organized as part of the 'China (Ningxia) - Korea Friendship Exchange Week' event commemorating the 30th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Korea and China, aiming to strengthen educational cooperation between the two regions.

The target schools were recommended as one elementary, one middle, and one high school from each region. Gyeongbuk participated with Chunyang Elementary School, Yangnam Middle School, and Gyeongbuk Science High School.

The signing ceremony was conducted by pre-recording videos of each school representative signing the agreement, which were then screened locally, due to mutual travel restrictions.

The agreement includes provisions to strengthen educational cooperation through mutual visits of students and teachers, curriculum research and exchange, and school club exchanges, aiming to improve the quality of education jointly. The agreement was signed as a medium-term contract lasting 2 to 5 years, tailored to each school's circumstances.

Cheon Jong-bok, principal of Gyeongbuk Science High School, who participated in the signing ceremony, said, “Our school hoped to exchange with a school specialized in the field of science, and we were recommended an excellent school in the Ningxia region, leading to the MOU signing.”

He added, “We hope this MOU will lead to practical exchanges and serve as a good stepping stone for our students to grow into global leaders.”

The Gyeongbuk Office of Education is cooperating with Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region to promote projects such as the ‘Gyeongbuk Global Youth Marine Forum,’ held last year in a blended format, and the ‘Online World Understanding Education through Themes.’

In particular, the ‘Korea-China Youth Environmental Protection Blended Camp,’ now in its second term this year, has been selected as a key international youth exchange project in Ningxia and is being operated accordingly.

Superintendent Lim Jong-sik stated, “Our Office of Education is conducting various cooperative projects with Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, and this MOU signing ceremony between schools can be seen as a small achievement of our exchanges so far,” adding, “We will promote enhanced international exchange projects to widely publicize Gyeongbuk’s excellent educational resources.”
