Gyeonggi Provincial Superintendent of Education Lim Tae-hee is discussing cooperation plans with Andreas Schleicher, Director for Education and Skills at the OECD, at the InterContinental Seoul COEX on the 22nd.

Lim Tae-hee, Superintendent of Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education, announced plans to incorporate various educational programs from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) into Gyeonggi education.

The Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education stated that on the 22nd, Superintendent Lim Tae-hee met with Andreas Schleicher, Director for Education and Skills at the OECD, at the InterContinental Parnas in Seoul to discuss the importance of international cooperation for new educational changes.

On that day, the two exchanged views on ▲ the direction of Gyeonggi education ▲ the direction and challenges of artificial intelligence (AI) and digital education ▲ and cooperation plans between the provincial office and the OECD for future education.

Superintendent Lim Tae-hee said, "Gyeonggi education is also striving to provide foundational basic education suited to students' growth stages, but we want to learn from the OECD about systems that evaluate emotional and social aspects," adding, "We will endeavor to integrate parts of the various educational programs that the OECD has into Gyeonggi education where applicable."

Director Schleicher emphasized, "Alongside the importance of digital technology, education in emotional and social fields and enhancing students' self-directedness are crucial," and stressed, "It is necessary to ensure active participation of teachers in the digital education development process and to create an equitable educational environment."

He continued, "Invisible aspects such as students' emotional outcomes can also be visibly guided by utilizing various evaluation tools possessed by the OECD," and requested active cooperation from the provincial office.

Meanwhile, this meeting took place while attending the 2023 Global Education Innovation Summit (GEIS), held under the theme ‘Creating an Educational Innovation Ecosystem in the Era of Digital Transformation.’
