Strengthening
Partnership: Jeollabuk-do
delegation’s visit to Cavite
marks 18 years of collaboration. In a bid to strengthen international ties and
foster educational cooperation, a delegation from
the Jeollabuk-do Office of
Education in Korea embarked on an official visit
to the province of Cavite
on October 2-6, 2023.
The Provincial
Government of Cavite
(PGC) through the Provincial Information and Communications Technology
Office greeted the delegation headed by Mr. Kim
Jun Ho, Team Leader and
Head of Computer Administration with Ms. Kim Mi
Hye, Mr. Lim Jae Heon,
Mr. Shim Jae Guk, Mr. Kim
Hyun Seong, and Ms. Im
Ja Yeon with warm hospitality at Bayleaf Hotel, City
of Gen. Trias.
The visit held
particular significance
as it celebrated 18 years
of a fruitful educational partnership. Over the
years, this partnership
has witnessed numerous
exchanges of ideas, technology, and best practices
in education particularly in
information and communications technology.
The delegation
paid a courtesy call to
Cavite Governor Jonvic
Remulla. The meeting
was marked by a candid exchange of ideas on
educational policies, the
challenges faced by both
regions, and the shared
commitment to fostering
excellence in education.
Highlights of the
visit was the inspection of
computer laboratories of
the 2023 Korean e-Learning Improvement Cooperation Program (KLIC)
trainees. These state-ofthe-art facilities underscore the commitment to
equipping students with
the skills needed for the
digital age.
Another notable
event included the Local
Training for the KLIC Program, which took place
at Tanza National Trade
School. This training session followed the 12-day
KLIC training that 20 ICT
teachers from Cavite had
undergone in South Korea
from August 28 to September 8, 2023.
They also had
the opportunity to observe
ICT classes at the Cavite
Computer Center Tanza
Satellite Office and various public schools which
include Dasmariñas East
Integrated School, Juanito R. Remulla Senior High
School, Tanza National
Trade School, Malainen
Bago Integrated School
and Pangil National High
School. This firsthand experience allowed them to
gain valuable insights into
the teaching and learning process in the field of
ICT, as well as witness the
dedication of Filipino educators.
To date, a total of
269 teachers and educators from public elementary and secondary schools
have benefited from Korean Learning Improvement
Cooperation training program. The experience has
enriched their teaching
methods and enhanced
the quality of ICT education. Likewise, the training
has also provided 1,691
computer sets to different
elementary and secondary
schools in the province.
During the pandemic, the partnership
continued through the
online Korean Learning
Improvement Cooperation
(KLIC) training program
wherein 83 public elementary and secondary teachers participated and granted a total of 53 Samsung
tablets and 61 computers.– JDP
