Mason Korea is actively expanding its global education initiatives and strengthening community engagement, this time empowering public school leaders in Incheon.
In collaboration with the Incheon Office of Education's East Asia International Education Institute, Mason Korea recently hosted an inaugural program—the "2023 Global Education Leadership Academy"—which brought together 19 principals and vice principals of elementary, middle, and high schools across Incheon.
Throughout the week-long program, Mason Korea faculty taught comprehensive courses covering topics such as "Internationalization and Globalization in Education” and "Technology and the Future.” Participants also had the opportunity to interact with native English-speaking Mason Korea students and attend English lectures, providing them with a unique and immersive learning experience similar to studying abroad.
“We need a shift in educational culture, where questioning is encouraged, and students are exposed to diverse experiences to broaden their horizons, actively engage in global changes, and develop innovative abilities,” said Jae-hee Kim, Principal of Jungsan High School.
“Mason Korea is committed to delivering world-class education aligned with Incheon's status as a global city,” said Professor Eunmee Lee who led the training program, expressing her hopes that the academy would help participants develop a global mindset. Lee is also spearheading Mason Korea’s Incheon Citizen Life College program.
Mason Korea is committed to forging enduring partnerships with government and corporate entities to ensure ongoing support for local educational leaders and public officials.
