[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jun-kyung] Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education announced on the 26th that it visited the New South Wales (NSW) Department of Education and the University of New England (UNE) in Australia and signed an educational cooperation agreement to promote video education and global education.


The signing ceremony was attended by Superintendent Kim Dae-jung, Sylvia Corish, Director of the NSW Department of Education, and Simon Evans, President of UNE, who signed the agreement.


This tripartite agreement, the second following the video education MOU in 2016, promised to revitalize video education between Jeonnam and Australian schools, which had been reduced due to COVID-19, strengthen global education, and mutually cooperate.


The Australian delegation shared educational policies and programs regarding multicultural education and support for remote small schools with the NSW Department of Education, and had a meaningful time exploring the direction for Jeonnam’s global education.


They also met Jonathan O’Dea, Speaker of the New South Wales Parliament, to discuss cooperation methods between local councils and education offices and educational issues of both countries.



Superintendent Kim Dae-jung said, “Just as schools have continued education through online remote classes despite COVID-19, video classes with Australia will provide Jeonnam schools with opportunities to overcome geographical constraints and realize global education,” adding, “I hope this agreement will help advance educational cooperation between the two countries to the next level.”
