5. 12 KOREAN TEACHERS COMMENCED ACTIVITIES IN MALAYSIA
The teachers participated in the Local Adjustment Training hosted by the Ministry of
Education of Malaysia from 8 to 16 June at the Foreign Teachers College. The training
consisted of various elements - learning basic conversational Malay, visiting Malacca
and other historical sites, and lectures on Malay culture and education.
In particular, the Korean teachers unveiled their fabulous performance of the Malaysian
traditional ‘joget dance’ that they had learned and practiced during the local training
period, drawing a burst of applause from the officials from the Malaysian Ministry of
Education, local school principals, teachers and students.
The Korean teachers were assigned to six different secondary schools nearby Kuala
Lumpur, Malaysia. From 17 June to 13 September, they will introduce Korean culture,
teach Korean language as well as their individual subject areas to local students with
Education for International Understanding embedded into the contents. Through the
teacher exchange between the two countries, Korea and Malaysia are expected to have
better understanding of each other and enhance educational cooperation.

MULTICULTURAL EDUCATION, YR 2013

7. “My three months in Korea was the best time in my life. Although we
have different skin colors, Korean students and I were able to share the
same feeling” - Richallyn L. SANTOS, Filipino Teacher to Korea in 2013
“Like the phrase ‘More Widely, More Beautifully’ it was a chance for me
to spread the beauty of education in a wider area. Through this
experience, I was able to face up and further dream of my life as a
teacher”
- WON Hanui, Korean Teacher to Indonesia in 2013
“ Through this programme, I have become interested in diverse cultures
and education for International Understanding. I want to find out if there
is any related programme in Mongolia and ask the Mongolian Ministry of
Education and Science to develop such programmes”
- Endenetuya BUUVEI, Mongolian Teacher to Korea in 2013
