Daekyo Culture Foundation

Since 1992, we have held the Eye Level Education Awards in order to commend the efforts of teachers who quietly do their jobs and embody the image of a true teacher. Every year, we receive nominations for teachers who dedicate themselves to realizing education reforms and open education. Using a fair screening process, we select and award teachers both in Korea and abroad.

The categories for the “Eye Level Education Awards” are: primary and secondary education, special education, early childhood education, lifetime education, education of Koreans overseas, and global education. We have found dedicated teachers who have embraced their students with great effort in areas such as the rehabilitation of severely disabled children, support for children without parents living in remote rural areas, and the establishment of a marine science hall.

Since 2001, the “Children’s Poem Contest” has been nourishing the creativity of primary school students. Many are experiencing the art of writing poems through the contest and releasing their creative juices.

Each year, poems that express a child’s beautiful mind are announced, and prize-winning poems are published together in a book.
