ST. JOHN'S, Antigua - Antigua and Barbuda is continuing to position itself as a front runner in the development of ICTs. On this occasion, the Ministry of Information, Broadcasting, Telecommunications, Science & Technology is sending two officers to Seoul, South Korea to participate in an e-Learning training program.
Michele Michael and Velva Willet of the award-winning Connect Antigua and Barbuda Initiative, will represent the Nation at the three week program, which will be conducted by the Korean National IT Industry Promotion Agency.
The training program includes study visits to the Korea National Open University, where the participants will be exposed to state-of-the-art techniques and diverse learning systems and educational programs including the Internet, on-line, cable TV, Education on Demand (EOD), CD-ROM and radio. Other study visits are scheduled for Kyung Hee Cyber University, where the participants will be exposed to the concepts of open education and lifelong education by means of information technology over the Internet.
The Antigua delegation will also visit the Korea Education and Research Information Service, which has increased Korea's position as an e-Learning leader by increasing global cooperation with e-Learning partners around the world.
Minister of State in the Office of the Prime Minister, Honourable Dr. Edmond Mansoor, says that Government is ensuring that Antigua and Barbuda participates fully in the 2009 Technical Cooperation Program of the Government of the Republic of Korea.
