I Hate Flying Bugs Inc. (CEO: Chan-yong Park), the operator of the AI-powered all-in-one lesson management solution School PT, announced today the launch of the industry’s first remote after-school program, the School PT e-Afterschool Program. Developed based on the 12 years of experience of Mildang PT, which has provided online tutoring in English and math to 200,000 elementary, middle, and high school students, this program will be offered to schools facing challenges with individual after-school student management.
The School PT (Personal Teaching) e-Afterschool Program delivers personalized learning management. It provides tailored English and math curricula based on highly precise diagnostic tests, assigns dedicated online teachers for real-time monitoring and Q&A sessions, and implements detailed learning strategies.
The e-Afterschool Program specifically caters to students who require additional learning support. With an estimated average of three such students per class nationwide, totaling approximately 800,000 students, these learners need focused attention and individualized support from teachers. Due to cognitive and emotional characteristics, they often struggle to keep pace with curriculum learning, resulting in significant achievement gaps. To address this, the Ministry of Education aims to enhance small-group, tailored curriculum support and establish an AI-based foundational learning support system by 2027, as outlined in the Basic Academic Ability Guarantee Act implemented in 2022.
Aligned with the Ministry’s Comprehensive Basic Academic Ability Guarantee Plan, the School PT e-Afterschool Program is an AI-driven learning platform that provides 1:1 personalized learning guidance, contributing to a more efficient public education system.
Dong-wook Kim, Director of Business Consulting at I Hate Flying Bugs Inc., remarked, “With the upcoming introduction of digital textbooks in schools and the growing emphasis on data-driven personalized teaching and assessment, the e-Afterschool Program is expected to strengthen the link between after-school and regular curriculum classes, offering more quantitative guidance and objective evaluations. School PT e-Afterschool will provide tailored learning to students who need it most while reducing the management burden on teachers.”
