Ulsan Office of Education and Bhutan Collaborate on Educational Informatization Exchange

The Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education is hosting 23 officials and teachers from the Bhutan Ministry of Education for a 6-night, 7-day ICT utilization training program from the 8th to the 14th at the Ulsan Education Training Institute and Ulsan Science Museum.

The Bhutan teacher invitation training has been conducted online for the past three years due to COVID-19 since the 2019 memorandum of understanding, and this year marks their first visit to Ulsan.

This training focuses on hands-on experiences and practice in digital-based teaching and learning methods in areas such as 3D printing modeling, physical computing, drones and coding, app-based STEAM, micro:bit, and artificial intelligence (AI).

Participants will also visit Goheon Elementary School, Yaksag High School, and Ulsan Science Museum to experience Ulsan’s educational environment and directly observe ICT classes.

As part of its Official Development Assistance (ODA) projects, the Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education has signed an MOU with the Bhutan Ministry of Education to conduct annual ICT training and has provided 30 laptops and 423 sets of coding kits.

Last year, Bhutan established its own advanced classrooms modeled after Ulsan’s high-tech classrooms, which integrate information and communication technologies.

Cheon Chang-su, Superintendent of Education, stated, “We hope this ICT training will enhance information and communication technology capabilities and broaden the potential for the future development of education in Bhutan.”
