Ajou gives lectures to local high schoolers as part of the Gyeonggi Education Cluster Project

[16.09.22]


Ajou University is offering a program to high school students in which they can get a taste of university lectures. The program, which is available from August to next February, is part of the Education Cluster Project carried out by the Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education.


Under the Project, universities offer various learning opportunities to students attending neighboring high schools. Ajou's professors or students in their master's or doctoral courses will give special lectures or arrange experiments related to their majors for high schoolers.


On September 20th, Professor Kuzuburi (Department of Korean Language and Literature) from the University kicked off the program by giving a lecture entitled 'Appreciation and Understanding of Modern Literature' at Jangan High School located in Jangan-gu, Suwon City. Also in attendance at the lecture were students from neighboring Daepyeong High School and Sukji High School.


One of the student participants said, "The lecture was an opportunity for me to better understand poems and become more sensitive," adding, "I assumed that it would be similar to a high school lecture, but it was quite interesting and satisfying to me."
 

Under the Program, the University is also offering Bio Science Experiments (Department of Biological Science), International Relations and Relevant Institutions (Department of Political Science and Diplomacy), and Culture in the Francophone Countries (Department of French Language and Literature).


Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education is operating the Education Cluster Project to help local schools share and utilize education curriculum and subjects. It gives students the choice to take subjects that are available at other schools within the cluster, even if their own schools do not offer them. One hundred thirty-six schools are participating in the Project, including general high schools, vocational high schools, and special-purpose high schools.
