New
Delhi, Sept 13: Yoga, which is beneficial for mind, body and soul, will
soon be taught in South Korea as NCERT has entered into a Memorandum of
Understanding (MoU) with the far eastern country recently. The MoU with South
Korea includes vocational education, Information Technology, special education
and Yoga, health and physical education. The country can provide good
information in online education. It is proficient in Information Technology.
India can reap benefits in this regard. The MoU, which was signed with the
Academy of Korean Studies, was entered into in the presence of 20
representatives from both sides, NCERT Director Hrushikesh Senapaty told UNI in
an interview. The meeting between the two nations took place between September
6 to 8. 'Our team went to Korea before the MoU was signed. Representatives from
Korea also visited here." When asked about if any exchange programme will
take place, Mr Senapaty said, 'We are identifying the areas and soon start
faculty exchange, where experts in this field will be visiting Korea in future.
Earlier, international collaboration used to take place with other countries,
but nothing like faculty exchange programme took place. 'Another MoU that is in
pipeline is with Australia in teacher education and we are planning one more
with Mauritius,' he said. 'Australia is good geographically, so we are looking
forward to signing the same,' he said. Talking on the NCERT books taking a cue
from international text books, he said books from other countries are looked into
and illustrations are taken in many of NCERT Social Science books. UNI
