According to AI TIMES, the Ministry of Education and the Korea Foundation for the Advancement of Science and Creativity will recruit about 1,700 trainees for digital tutor training from September 2 to 8 through six regional training centers nationwide. Selected trainees will receive free training from October to November, with new courses and retraining programs for current and former workers run together. Digital tutors are tasked with helping teachers prepare digital classes, manage devices and software, and narrow gaps in students' digital access and use in elementary, middle, and high schools. Starting this year, the curriculum has been revised to better match school settings and will be split into an online common program and an in-person region-specific course. New trainees will learn the basics of job duties and class support, while retraining participants will focus on optional content aimed at boosting on-site usability. After completion, schools will be able to check staff information registered on the website, in a move that also appears aimed at strengthening the link between training and hiring.
Perspective
This recruitment can be seen as a move to establish school support staff for digital classes as a distinct professional role rather than a simple auxiliary function. Running new training and retraining at the same time, while combining common instruction with region-tailored practice, suggests a design intended to improve both on-site adaptability and practical usability. Ultimately, the key change is to make support for digital device management and class assistance more structured within the school operating system, so that burden does not remain solely with individual teachers.
