This year, the Office plans to assign digital tutors to 596 elementary, middle, high, special, and various other schools in Gyeonggi Province, and to stably support a digital-based educational environment by investing a total budget of 14.9 billion won.

Digital tutors will be responsible for managing students’ smart devices and digital learning tools, assisting classes that utilize edutech, and supporting learning activities based on digital technology. In particular, they will assist teachers by supporting learning throughout the entire process before, during, and after class, and they will also provide tailored support for individuals and small groups to help close learning gaps for students who struggle with digital tools.

This project focuses on reducing the burden on schools of managing digital infrastructure as AI- and digital-based classes become more widespread, and on creating conditions that allow teachers to focus on student guidance and instructional innovation. Through this, the Office plans to ensure that digital technology takes root as an educational foundation for realizing personalized learning for students.

The Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education will work with local education support offices to systematically manage the recruitment and operation of “digital tutors,” and will spread best practices by sharing operational outcomes and providing on-site, customized consulting. In addition, it plans to enhance the effectiveness of digital transformation through continuous support that reflects the needs of schools.
