South Korea Education Vice Minister Choi Eun-ok and United Arab Emirates Education Ministry Undersecretary Mohammed Al-Qassim met in Seoul on Monday to discuss broadening bilateral cooperation in digital and science education. The meeting at Lotte Hotel Seoul focused on executing plans from a November 2025 joint declaration, aiming to establish Korean education management systems and teaching models more firmly in the Middle East.

Follow-up on leadership agreements

During President Lee Jae Myung's state visit to Abu Dhabi in November 2025, the two nations agreed to promote mutual visits, training, talent development and youth internship programs. Monday's discussion centered on turning those pledges into concrete actions across government entities and educational institutions.

Focus on AI and digital classrooms

Choi and Al-Qassim specifically targeted cooperation in artificial intelligence, digital education and school partnerships. The ministry expects these talks to produce tangible follow-up outcomes from the leaders' agreement.

This includes sharing Korea's policy experience regarding AI for Education and digital classroom integration. Supporting these school partnerships requires equipping educators with new technical skills, making an AI Learning Path for Teachers essential to the proposed international exchanges.

"The UAE is a key education partner in the Middle East, with a strong interest in nurturing talent competitive in future industries and global markets," Choi said. "The Education Ministry will work to ensure that the education agreements outlined in the Korea-UAE joint declaration lead to tangible results by sharing Korea's future-oriented education policy experience, including in AI and digital education, and by expanding bilateral talent exchanges," she added.

Why this matters for educators

Education professionals should monitor how these high-level agreements translate into local classroom resources and professional development opportunities. As Korean education models enter the Middle East, teachers and administrators may see new demands for digital literacy training and cross-cultural exchange programs. Preparing for these shifts now ensures schools can participate in future international partnerships.
