Hancom Academy, a subsidiary of Hancom Inc., announced on the 8th that it will establish 'Smart Classes' in 41 schools in Uzbekistan to start Korean language education.

This project, targeting about 1,600 students in Uzbekistan, involves native Korean language teachers using an online platform operated by Hancom Academy to teach Korean. This education initiative is the second largest in scale following the overseas Korean language and culture dissemination project by the King Sejong Institute Foundation.

Smart Classes are learning environments that provide various educational programs through digital infrastructure. By combining IT technology and educational content, students can experience not only the Korean language but also Korean culture and IT education. Since the classes are conducted online, they attract attention for significantly improving educational accessibility for locals beyond the constraints of time and space. In particular, native teachers are expected to enhance students' motivation and sense of achievement by teaching vivid Korean pronunciation and expressions in real time.

Lee Kwang-heon, CEO of Hancom Academy, said, "This project serves as a bridge to promote cultural and linguistic exchange between Uzbekistan and the Republic of Korea, and aims to provide an important foundation for students, the future generation, to grow into global talents beyond simple education."

He added, "We plan to continue expanding the establishment of Smart Classes throughout Uzbekistan and actively extend the project to other Central Asian countries such as Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan."
