Korea to spend more on ‘e-learning’
Korea will spend 126.3 billion won ($130.6 million) this year to expand the infrastructure of the nation’s Internet education, the government said yesterday. The effort, based on the country’s extensive high-speed Internet penetration, aims to expand the everyday use of online learning, and is part of Korea’s goal to become one of the leading “e-learning” countries by 2010, the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy said. The local market for e-learning grew to 1.5 trillion won last year, up from 1 trillion won in 2003. It is expected to expand by around 20 percent annually to reach 4.4 trillion won by 2010.
