Korea To Expand Model Schools To Six States

South Korea government has said it will expand the Nigeria –
Korea Model School to six states to enhance education in the
country.

The Korean government already operates a $15 million dollars
model school in the Federal Capital Territory Abuja through its
agency – Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA).

KOICA is the agency responsible for the administration of aid
programs for developing countries.

The Republic of South Korea Ambassador to Nigeria, Kim
Young-chae, said this in an interview with reporters to mark his
100 days in office.

The envoy said KOICA is in touch with state authorities on how
to implement the school project in the states.

He said: “The Korean government spent $15 million dollars on the
Nigeria – Korea Model School along airport road. It is not a small
amount of money.

“The Korean government provided the facilities for the school.
The teacher quality is very high.

“KOICA is trying to replicate the school in six states. They
(KOICA) are in contact with state authorities to handle the
project.

“We are not building the school itself but we are going to
provide equipment like computers, LCD screens and other ICT –
related equipment.

“The funding will be lower than the one in Abuja because we are
having six states.”
