Session Intro

SESSION 5) High Touch High Tech Learning Revolution 

There is a growing consensus that our next generation must develop the capacity to respond to global challenges such as climate change and economic inequality through revolutionary changes in education. In order to bring about fundamental change to the mass produced, outdated and ineffective education model, High Touch High Tech (HTHT) learning, which incorporates cutting-edge technology such as AI, coupled with amplified focus on student-teacher connection, should be explored further. For this purpose, HTHT 2021, which was hosted by TV Chosun and Education Commission Asia this year with 120 global experts invited, caused a ripple effect internally and externally. Furthering the discussion from HTHT 2021, this session will focus on consolidating efforts in the hopes of building a HTHT global consortium. 


SUB) A Roundtable with University Chancellors 

With university presidents representing Korea's academia gathered in one place, visions for the future of Korea are discussed and shared with the global audience. Additionally, presidents will discuss the role of universities in Korea as hubs of innovative ecosystems that can nurture future leaders capable of grappling with global challenges. Assessing the status of universities and the challenges they face in serving that role, as well as strategies to overcome these conundrums will be discussed.
