Gangwon Land is expanding the scope of its "Gangwon Land Learning Forest Project," which aims to overcome educational neglect in regions transitioning away from the coal industry.

The core program of the project, the "Learning Forest Joint Curriculum," has officially begun classes with Jeongsin High School, Dogye High School, and Hwangji High School as its bases.

The teaching staff for this year's "Learning Forest Joint Curriculum" includes Kwon Oh-hyun, a professor emeritus of Seoul National University College of Education who designed South Korea's college admissions holistic review system; Professor Jung Yoon-gil of Dongguk University; Byun Jeong-ho, Director of the Kangwon National University Science Talent Education Institute; Associate Professor Kim Hee-tae of Korea University of Energy and Technology; and several currently serving teachers.

Participating students will carry out practical projects such as investigating local issues and creating maker works utilizing generative AI and IoT sensors. All records of their activities will be objectively documented in the academic performance section of their school life records, specifically under "Subject-specific abilities and special skills."

A Gangwon Land official, speaking to this newspaper by phone, stated, "We will actively support student transportation arrangements and provide one-on-one personalized career counseling to create a foundation for local talents to realize their dreams."
