During the address, Jung highlighted real-world examples showing how Korea has moved AI education from policy design into classrooms through partnerships with private technology firms and schools. The focus remains on developing critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making skills alongside AI tools.
Jung stressed that AI education should prepare students for changing job roles rather than just teaching technical skills. He added that Korea will continue expanding practical, field-based AI learning programs while strengthening global cooperation on education and workforce readiness.
