A Great Way to Feel New Experiences
Imagine having a student exchange program once a month. An exchange program is a program where you go to another country to learn about new topics. In the future, our schools should have an exchange program. It is good because it can help students decide their jobs. This will help us decide on our future jobs. For example, you could experience another country's culture and make a new dream. Many students in Korea are too shy to share their thoughts, so if they go to another country, they will realize they can say anything. An exchange program is not only good to help us decide on our future jobs, but it can also help us experience a number of cultures. Therefore, it is time for us to bring student exchange programs to our schools.

The Future of Learning: More Teamwork
What if every student could participate in group activities? They would be able to share their ideas freely. Don't you think it would be great? As time goes on, collaboration involving everyone is becoming increasingly important. But right now, our schools are missing real teamwork. Team-based learning is a way of learning in which every student works together, but right now, many students just stay quiet and don't participate equally. As a student in Chuncheon, I’ve seen many students left out during group work. If we increase team-based activities, these students will finally get the chance to participate. Moreover, as the fourth industrial revolution accelerates, teamwork and collaboration are becoming essential for success in a globalized world where we must work with diverse people. Some teachers think that team-based study wastes study time. However, it is more effective than other studies for activities that require discussion or sharing opinions because students study as teams. To prepare for the future, we must stop leaving students behind. Let's embrace team-based activities and build a better way of learning. ✨

Making Life Easier Through Robot Coding
Close your eyes. Picture yourself learning robot coding. Robot coding is a subject where you learn how to control robots as well as possible. In the future, our schools should teach robot coding. This will help us make things easier. For example, we can program robots to help us with our daily tasks and solve complex problems much faster. Furthermore, learning this skill early encourages creative thinking and logical problem-solving, which are essential abilities for the modern world. Some people think robot coding is difficult, but it will be easier as technology advances and user-friendly tools become available for everyone. With step-by-step guidance from teachers, anyone can master the basics without feeling overwhelmed. Our schools should teach robot coding. Let's learn robot coding to make our lives easier and prepare ourselves for a bright, high-tech future where we can shape tomorrow.

The Future of Education Needs Exchange Programs
Imagine a school with exchange programs. An exchange program is a program where students talk with friends from other countries. In the future, our schools should have exchange programs. It is good because this program will help students become friendly. This will help us understand different cultures. For example, you could talk with people from different countries. Understanding different cultures will help students become friendly. Some people think it costs too much, but it will be a very special experience. It will be a special experience because we don't have enough experience with people from other countries. Students can talk and learn with people from other countries. Our schools should have exchange programs! Let us bring this important program to our schools.

Chnucheon should have AI coding class and makerspace
Imagine walking into a modern school of the future. It has advanced AI and coding labs, and exciting makerspaces where students can bring their best ideas to life. In this school, students do not just sit and listen to textbooks. Instead, they learn by doing—coding together, solving real problems, and creating new ideas. By the year 2036, schools across Chuncheon will have AI, coding, and makerspaces fully built into their classes, helping students lead and succeed in the AI era. Today, I see an interesting problem: many students are great at using everyday apps and social media, but most still struggle to use AI properly for deeper learning and creative work. However, as AI changes the world fast, these AI skills will be the foundation of tomorrow's jobs and society. Because of this, making AI classes mandatory is no longer optional—it is a must. Through these classes, students learn how to think critically, plan ahead, solve tricky problems, and show their creativity. Also, a makerspace acts as a bridge between imagination and reality. By building and programming their own projects, students change from quiet listeners into true problem-solvers and creators. Some people might say AI education is too early or unnecessary for young students, but I strongly believe it is essential to prepare them for an unpredictable future. AI education is not just about learning tech; it is about giving students the confidence and adaptability to face tomorrow. To boost our digital skills and successfully handle the challenges of the AI era, we need to take action right now. We must bring AI classes, coding, and modern makerspaces to all our schools, making sure Chuncheon's youth are not just followers, but leaders who shape a brighter future.

"Responding to Voices from Across the Sea with Policy": Overseas Koreans Agency Holds Online Roundtable and Policy Forum to Mark 3rd Anniversary
▲ Overseas Koreans Agency 3rd Anniversary Event Forum [Korea Education Newspaper] On June 5, the Overseas Koreans Agency held a commemorative event at the Diplomatic Town in Seocho-dong, Seoul, to mark the first anniversary of the launch of the Government of People's Sovereignty and the third anniversary of the Agency's launch, to review past achievements and explore future policy directions together with overseas Koreans around the world. This event was held as an academic forum under the theme "Voices from Across the Sea, Responding with Policy," featuring real-time online communication with overseas Koreans worldwide and policy recommendations from academia. In the first part of the online communication meeting, the Overseas Koreans Agency connected via video with overseas Koreans from around the world to share the progress made in resolving civil complaints that it has focused on this year, and listened to opinions and suggestions from the field. At the meeting, officials from agencies related to overseas Korean policy, including the Ministry of Justice, also attended to directly explain the grievances of the overseas Korean community and suggestions from the field, and to listen to their opinions. The attendees suggested expanding the scope of use for the simplified certificate for overseas Koreans, which allows access to domestic online services without a Korean mobile phone, increasing subsidies for overseas Korean organizations such as Korean associations, and issuing international driver's licenses and renewing Class 1 driver's licenses through overseas diplomatic missions. In response, government officials explained the progress of expanding the use of simplified certificates for overseas Koreans in private services and the status of the review on improving driver's license-related services through overseas diplomatic missions. Kim Kyung-hyup, head of the Overseas Koreans Affairs Agency, said, “We are reviewing the initial complaints and suggestions received through overseas diplomatic missions around the world together with relevant ministries,” adding, “I will continue to look after the situation until the end so that voices from the field lead to changes that overseas Koreans can actually feel.” In the second part of the academic forum on overseas Korean policy held in the afternoon, academic experts from various fields, including the Korean Political Science Association, the Korean Sociological Association, the Korean Policy Association, and the Association of Korean Studies Abroad, participated in a discussion on the theme of 'Reflection and Transformation of Overseas Korean Policy'. The participants diagnosed institutional blind spots and policy needs emerging in the overseas Korean policy process, and exchanged opinions on enhancing the rights and interests of overseas Koreans, increasing social acceptance, attracting overseas talent, and the future direction of overseas Korean networks. In addition, discussions continued on policy directions to translate on-site demands into tangible institutional improvements for overseas Koreans. Kim Kyung-hyup, head of the Overseas Koreans Agency, stated, “The Overseas Koreans Agency was able to launch and establish itself thanks to the voices of compatriots sent from all corners of the globe,” adding, “We will use this 3rd anniversary event as an opportunity to listen to the advice of our compatriots and reflect, and we will repay them with effective policies by carefully addressing the voices from the field.”

Seoul City Recruits 230 Locations for 'Mobile Dietary Education'... Establishing Healthy Eating Habits for 6,500 Infants and Toddlers
▲ 2025 Seoul City Dietary Education Photo - Reading a picture book together (Songpa Jeil Daycare Center) [Korea Education Newspaper] The Seoul Metropolitan Government is recruiting participating institutions on a first-come, first-served basis from the 10th to the 12th for the first round of the 'Visiting Seoul Dietary Education' program, in which professional instructors visit daycare centers and kindergartens directly to help infants and toddlers form proper eating habits. This education will be conducted at 230 daycare centers and kindergartens for approximately 6,500 infants and toddlers, expanding the recruitment scale by about 15% compared to last year. The recruitment targets are daycare centers in the 21 autonomous districts participating in the Seoul Deundeun Geupsak project and kindergens within Seoul. The Seoul Metropolitan Government will select 170 daycare centers and 60 kindergartens on a first-come, first-served basis, and institutions wishing to participate can apply through the Seoul Deundeun Geupsak website. Selected institutions will receive training according to their preferred schedule from June 29 to August 31. Last year, through the 'Seoul City Visiting Dietary Education' program, the Seoul Metropolitan Government conducted a total of 823 classes at 420 daycare centers and kindergartens, providing age-appropriate dietary education to 12,612 infants and toddlers. In particular, as the scope of education was expanded to include all daycare centers within the autonomous districts participating in the Seoul Deundeun Geupsak program (18 as of 2025) and kindergens in Seoul, the number of trainees increased by 57.1% compared to the previous year. In the satisfaction survey, an average score of 4.82 out of 5 was recorded. The education program centers on five-sense experiences, allowing infants and toddlers to directly see, touch, smell, and taste food ingredients. It is designed to help children become familiar with various ingredients and build enjoyable eating experiences. The program is divided into two classes by age, and 40 to 50-minute sessions are conducted up to twice. The class of children born in 2022–2023 (ages 2–3) observes carrots, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, etc. through the ‘Yummy Yummy’ program, and then conducts a ‘Vegetable Tower Making’ activity in which they stack vegetables one by one on slices of whole wheat bread. The class of children born in 2020–2021 (ages 4–5) will engage in the ‘Eat a Balanced Diet’ program, where they touch ingredients inside a secret bag and express them through their five senses, and ‘make skewers’ using rice cakes, quail eggs, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, and mushrooms. A daycare teacher in Dongjak-gu who participated in the education program last year said, “The children naturally showed interest in vegetables they usually wouldn’t eat as they touched and made things with them,” adding, “After the class, there was a noticeable increase in children naming ingredients or trying to eat vegetables first during lunch time.” She continued, “Because it was an activity-centered class where they participated like play rather than simply listening to explanations, the children’s concentration and reactions were excellent.” A total of two training sessions will be conducted this year, including this first session. Recruitment for the second 'Seoul City Visiting Dietary Education' program is scheduled for this coming July, with a capacity of 6,500 participants, the same as the first session. Institutions selected through the first recruitment cannot apply for the second recruitment. Jeong Jin-woo, Director General of the Seoul Metropolitan Government’s Lifelong Education Bureau, stated, “As early childhood is a critical period for establishing lifelong eating habits, it is essential for children to experience a variety of food ingredients naturally and enjoyably.” He added, “We will continue to support the formation of proper eating habits in children by expanding experiential dietary education programs that visit daycare centers and kindergartens directly.”

Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Kim Yun-duk: "We will accelerate the upcoming era of mobile robots through policy."
The indoor and outdoor mobile robot industry is experiencing rapid growth in various service sectors, including delivery, parking, charging, and construction sites.▲ Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport [Korea Education Newspaper] Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Kim Yun-duk visited the Naver 1784 building on the afternoon of May 27 to observe a mobile robot demonstration inside the building, and We listened to the future vision of robot-friendly buildings incorporating technologies such as digital twins and autonomous driving, as well as suggestions for institutional improvements to commercialize mobile robots. The Naver 1784 building is currently being utilized as a demonstration and testbed for mobile robots by applying robot-friendly architectural design, such as architectural design considering robot movement, as well as digital twins and cloud-based control systems; it is a building that incorporates various land, infrastructure, and transport technologies. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport is pursuing support measures, including establishing various policy frameworks, to ensure that mobile robots can be safely utilized in urban, residential, and architectural spaces. First, the National Geographic Information Institute under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport has been constructing mobility pedestrian maps since 2024 to ensure that outdoor mobile robots can operate smoothly and safely on sidewalks and side streets. This year, through technological collaboration with Naver Labs, a subsidiary of Naver, the institute plans to build a pedestrian map around the Naver headquarters and verify the operational stability of outdoor mobile robots. Furthermore, it intends to jointly establish pedestrian map standardization and data utilization models to enable the future application of various types of robots in outdoor environments. Meanwhile, to establish an institutional framework for parking robots, the 'Safety Standards for Mechanical Parking Devices' will be revised to include regulations on vehicle weight, entry and exit times, and safety standards (such as devices to prevent deviation during movement and obstacle detection). Additionally, the 'Rules on Housing Construction Standards, etc.' are scheduled to be amended (currently under legislative notice, May 21–June 30) to allow the installation of parking robots in multi-unit housing. It is expected that starting in the second half of this year, when these amendments come into effect, the efficiency of urban parking spaces and the expansion of smart parking services through parking robots will accelerate. Furthermore, with the recent proposal of the 'Innovative Buildings Act,' an institutional foundation is expected to be established to organically integrate new technologies such as robots, autonomous driving, and digital twins with buildings. Moving forward, along with the certification of robot-friendly buildings, regulatory exemptions, and public seed funding, the widespread adoption of architectural designs, facilities, and control systems that enable the safe operation of mobile robots within buildings is anticipated. Minister Kim Yun-duk pointed out, “While the mobile robot industry is currently rapidly expanding into our daily lives for delivery, parking, charging, construction sites, and security, the reality is that there is a lack of policies and institutional support for the commercialization of these technologies.” He added, “Moving forward, we plan to strongly push forward land and transport policies, such as building spatial information infrastructure, promoting autonomous driving technology, and boldly rationalizing regulations, through the safe use and activation of mobile robots.” [News Source: Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport]
