Gyeongbuk Office of Education Announces 'International Exchange Operating Schools' Contest... 116 Schools Selected and Provided with 15 Million KRW Support

Gyeongbuk Office of Education (Superintendent Lim Jong-sik) is accepting applications from elementary, middle, and high schools in the province for the '2024 International Exchange Operating Schools' project from the 13th to the 29th.

This project is being promoted to provide our children with opportunities not only to understand and embrace diverse cultures through exchanges with various countries around the world but also to further develop these experiences to cultivate qualities as 'Koreans in the world.'

Lim Jong-sik, Superintendent of Gyeongbuk Office of Education, is explaining the importance of international exchange promoted under the slogan "Warm Gyeongbuk Education, a Global Standard in Education."

International exchange refers to interactions pursued by various entities such as individuals, societies, groups, and public institutions for their own or common interests, transcending the constraints of time and space due to the development of knowledge, information, and communication technologies.

Schools wishing to apply can select autonomous themes that suit their characteristics, such as class-sharing exchanges linked to school curriculum operation, creative experiential youth exchanges, activation and practical exchanges of global citizenship education, and visits to the home countries of immigrant-background (multicultural) students' parents.

The operation period is from March this year to February next year, and the 116 schools selected as international exchange operating schools will receive up to 15 million KRW in operating expenses according to their operation plans.

Applications will be accepted until the 29th, and the final selection results will be announced on the 15th of next month after screening.

Lim Jong-sik, Superintendent of Gyeongbuk Office of Education, said, “We will spare no effort and support to achieve the inaugural goal of K-EDU, ‘Warm Gyeongbuk Education, a Global Education Standard,’ through the solid operation of the international exchange project.”
