Hwang Kyu-ho, dean of Ewha Womans University's College of Education, said,`It will be a place of conversation to examine and prepare for how education should change in the AI era, such as 'how to teach students who will live in the AI era' and 'how to educate and retrain teachers who will lead the change.'
"Korea is also supporting the development of research and AI talent while promoting innovation in the education system in preparation for the fourth industrial revolution around the world, but it is not in the field of education and AI policy," said Jeongyoung Jeong, director of the Institute for Future Education, who conducted the presentation under the theme of "The Direction of Education Policy in the AI Age." He stressed, "The policy vision should be used to foster basic AI skills of the entire people, nurture AI and experts, practice customized future education, and build AI with its support systems." He also said that creative customized future education is needed at a time when the education gap is widening due to low birth rates, aging population and deepening polarization, and that the problem of remote education gaps in preparation for after Corona should also be solved.
