Doosan Yonkang Foundation (Chairman Yong Hyun Park) announced on June 14 that it is hosting its annual Overseas Economic Study Tour for 120 elementary, middle and high school teachers from June 12 to July 3. In three groups, the teachers are to visit industrial sites and other relevant facilities in Japan, including Yaskawa Electric Corporation, Toyota Motor Corporation’s manufacturing plant, the Toyota Commemorative Museum of Industry and Technology, and the Brother Museum, which exhibits sewing machines, and more. The teachers were selected from among those recommended by metropolitan and provincial offices of education nationwide. “I hope that your visit to major industrial sites in Japan, an economic powerhouse, provides a solid foundation on which our future talents can be nurtured as leaders of Korea,” said Chairman Park. Since his inauguration as the head of the foundation in 2005, Chairman Park has accompanied teachers on the overseas economic study tour every year. A total of 2,587 teachers have benefited from Doosan Yonkang Foundation’s Overseas Economic Study Tours since 1989.
