Today, we had an online meeting with the Korean Language Foundation(KLF) to discuss the advancement of the Korean language program in Alberta. Thanks to everyone’s support, the meeting was a great success. We shared a wealth of information and exchanged ideas about the direction we should take moving forward. Thankfully, the KLF has committed to holding 3-4 meetings with us each year to provide their assistance.
The most crucial step in completing this Korean language project is to create a credit program. Our primary goal is to work with Alberta’s provincial education authorities to ensure that Korean language courses are recognized for credits.
At the same time, we are officially launching the “Meet the Principal Campaign.” The active participation and support of parent groups are now more critical than ever. Based on the information gathered through the online petition, we will reach out to parents of high school students who indicated their willingness to attend meetings with their school principals. We will coordinate dates and times and begin scheduling these important parent-principal meetings.
Today marked a meaningful day for the Korean Parent Committee as we took another step forward. Special thanks to Chairperson Kyung-Hwa Kim and Secretary General Mi-Kyung Cho of the American Korean Language Foundation, Professor Kyung-Sook Kim of the University of Alberta’s Department of East Asian Studies, Assistant Principal Celia Kim of Dr. Margaret-Ann Armour School, and Teacher Inae Kim. Thank you all for your support and dedication!
