Kyrgyzstan cooperates with Korea in the field of digital education

The Ministry of Education of Kyrgyzstan and the Education Department of one of the provinces of Korea have signed a memorandum of understanding on cooperation in the field of digital education. This was reported by the press service of the ministry.

According to Albert Makhmetkulov, Deputy Minister of Education, digital transformation is one of the priority areas on the Ministry of Education's agenda.

"Given the high level of development of the education system in Korea, we are fully open to cooperation in various areas. The signing of the memorandum will mark the beginning of active and comprehensive bilateral cooperation," the official said.

He emphasised that in the process of transition to a 12-year education model, advisory support from partners is of great importance for Kyrgyzstan. Teachers play a special role in this process, and improving their qualifications will be a key factor in the successful implementation of reforms.

As part of the memorandum, a training program will be implemented in Korea for teachers selected by the Ministry of Education of Kyrgyzstan, and digital education training visits will be held in Kyrgyzstan. The Ministry of Education will be responsible for selecting training participants, providing administrative support to the visiting Korean specialists, and ensuring coordination and collaboration with local schools.

In addition, the Korean side will provide humanitarian and technical assistance to schools in Kyrgyzstan.
