Abstract

The paper explores ways of bridging the digital divide between the two Koreas and applying ICT to educational development that will be mutually beneficial to North and South Korea on the way towards and after unification. It compares thinking and developments on both sides of the peace line and identifies the different priorities and programs that are currently under way. The study suggests that there should be a collaborative approach to addressing these issues and that this should be embarked on as soon as possible. It argues that this should be needs-based and built upon mutual understanding. It is also envisages that there will be need for a cross-sector approach, legal, regulatory and policy changes, expanded access to ICT, enhanced capacity to utilize ICT and professional development and it suggests how these might be achieved within a framework of peaceful coexistence and cooperation in education.
