2020 Australian Principals and Educational Leaders Korean Study Tour
It is my great pleasure to invite you to attend 'the 2020 Australian Principals and Educational Leaders Korean Study Tour' from 12 April to 22 April 2020 during the school holidays for the majority of states.
This unique program has been successfully running since 2010 and is intended to help facilitate Australian principals and educational leaders’ engagement with the Korean history, language, culture and people of Korea. Approximately 190 Australian principals, deputy-principals and educational leaders have participated in the program, and the feedback has been very positive. I am delighted to offer this program again in 2020, and hope to have an enthusiastic group of educators.
The inland expenses will be provided by the Ministry of Education in the Republic of Korea. It includes full-board, a single room, transfer, guides, entrance fees and interpreters etc. The participants need to cover their round-trip airfare and travel insurance.
