Gyeonggi Education Office Launches Pilot Project for 'Language and Cultural Diversity Education' for Young Children from Multicultural Families

The Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education is launching a pilot project to support the establishment of a language and cultural diversity education foundation for young children from multicultural families.

On July 24, the office announced that it would implement language and cultural diversity education by selecting categories such as daily life, arts, or play in connection with the Nuri Curriculum at a total of 20 kindergartens and daycare centers across the province. Gyeonggi Province has the highest number of students from migrant (multicultural) backgrounds in the country.

The office plans to provide training and consulting for the pilot institutions, analyze changes in perception and operational results among young children, teachers, and parents resulting from the language and cultural diversity education, and identify practical case studies for field application.

An official from the office stated, "Going forward, we plan to develop a language and cultural diversity education model that can be applied in the field, fostering interest and sensitivity toward various languages and cultures, thereby strengthening the foundational competencies of children as global citizens."
