Moldova Teachers Head to South Korea for AI Training

Teachers from Moldova are getting a chance to study the future of education in one of the world's most tech-advanced countries.

Through the new KLIC 2026 program, Moldovan educators will participate in intensive training on digital technologies and artificial intelligence in South Korea's Jeju Province. The Ministry of Education and Research launched the initiative in partnership with Jeju's Special Directorate for Education to help teachers bring modern learning tools back to their students.

The program runs from June through November 2026 and includes four carefully designed stages. Teachers start with online training sessions in June and July, followed by in-person workshops in Moldova during August. The highlight comes in October and November when selected participants travel to Jeju Province for hands-on study sessions. The final stage focuses on implementing what they learned through digital education projects in their home schools.

Primary and secondary teachers with digital skills can apply until June 10. Those teaching STEM subjects like math, science, and technology get extra consideration, as do teachers working in schools already participating in digitalization programs.

The Ripple Effect

This partnership represents more than just professional development for a few dozen teachers. When these educators return home with new skills in AI-assisted learning and digital teaching methods, their knowledge spreads to colleagues and thousands of students across Moldova. The program could accelerate how an entire generation learns, making education more engaging and preparing young people for a technology-driven world.

Moldova's education system is actively working toward digital transformation, and this South Korea connection provides a direct pipeline to proven methods. Jeju Province has built a reputation for educational innovation, making it an ideal training ground for teachers ready to modernize their approach.

The initiative shows how international cooperation can create lasting change in classrooms far beyond the initial training sessions.
