Lim Tae-hee, Superintendent of Gyeonggi Education, emphasized, "Currently, the educational environments of Korea and Kazakhstan are completely opposite. While Korea is experiencing a decline in the number of elementary, middle, and high school students due to low birth rates, Kazakhstan's population is rapidly increasing, making educational cooperation for elementary, middle, and high school students important."

He added, "Gyeonggi Province is realizing personalized education by developing an AI-based teaching and learning platform for all students. There will be many areas for cooperation with Kazakhstan in such fields as well."
