Designation of Software and AI Education District in Incheon Jemulpo Area

Incheon Metropolitan Office of Education announced on the 4th that it will designate and operate 101 schools in the Jemulpo area of the old downtown as a 'Software and Artificial Intelligence (AI) Education District.'

This project aims to create a region-based Incheon-style future education district by linking elementary, middle, and high schools as well as universities and advanced industries in the Jemulpo area, including Michuhol-gu, Dong-gu, Jung-gu, and Seo-gu.

The Office of Education plans to establish a virtuous cycle system of urban regeneration in line with the 'Jemulpo Renaissance' project, an old downtown revitalization initiative promoted by Incheon City.

This year, the focus will be on building consensus and raising awareness among teachers, students, local residents, and related organizations, centered on pilot schools operating in the old downtown area.

Additionally, the project will provide participating schools with edutech technologies and systematic educational programs, along with one-on-one consulting and teacher workload reduction programs.

An official from the Incheon Metropolitan Office of Education stated, "Our top priority is to eliminate the digital education gap for students in old downtown schools by introducing high-quality edutech and providing excellent software and AI education. We will enhance the educational capacity of schools and focus on nurturing digital talents based on abundant infrastructure in connection with the Jemulpo area urban regeneration project."
