Universities to reshape classes for the AI era... Kyung Hee University (KHU) and Taejae University to jointly foster talent in debate and problem-solving

[Financial News] Kyung Hee University and Taejae University announced on the 12th that they had signed an agreement on the 11th to develop a new model of university education suited to the age of artificial intelligence (AI) and jointly foster interdisciplinary talent. A comprehensive university with traditional research infrastructure and a university centered on online learning and discussion have joined forces to transform their approaches to education.
The signing ceremony was held at KHU’s main building in Seoul’s Dongdaemun District. Attendees included KHU President Jin-sang Kim, Taejae University President Jaeho Yeom, and other senior officials from both universities.
The presidents of both universities agreed that the framework of university education must change as AI technology advances. “Amid technological advances and changes in the educational environment, we need to rethink teaching methods so students can develop the skills they actually need,” KHU President Jin-sang Kim said. “I look forward to the two universities, both leading educational innovation, coming together to discuss new directions for education.”
Taejae University President Jaeho Yeom also said, “Students’ creative ideas and critical thinking develop significantly through the process of discussing issues based on knowledge and solving problems. I hope to share Taejae University’s educational experience with KHU, continue experimenting with new approaches to education, and expand this collaboration into exchanges between students and faculty.”
The collaboration was established to build a future-oriented educational ecosystem in which students solve problems themselves, moving beyond conventional classes focused on knowledge delivery. The strategy is to improve the quality of education by combining KHU’s extensive academic resources with Taejae University’s strengths in real-time online lectures, discussion, and expertise in problem-solving-centered education.
The two universities agreed to jointly develop and run programs to cultivate future-oriented interdisciplinary talent and share their respective educational content and learning data resources. They also plan to establish a joint support system to help strengthen students’ capabilities while expanding exchanges of faculty, students, and other human and material resources. Specific joint education programs will be finalized after the universities consult with each other.
