Korea's #1 educational institute plans to use Hanjamaru!

Koreans are all about education and almost every elementary, middle and high school student attends after school classes at educational institutes known as hakwons. These hakwons are private schools, run for profit, that may teach all subjects or specialize in one specific discipline, like mathematics or English. They are popularly described as "cram schools". Among them, Digital Daesung is the leader in on and off-line education.

Digital Daesung has decided to use Eduflo's game Hanjamaru as a part of its curriculum for teaching Chinese characters. Students will be assigned to study with the game as homework and instructors will be able to monitor the progress that students are making in the game.

This is the first time that any private institute of this kind has decided to mandate the use of a educational game as part of its curriculum. However, due to the intrinsic educational value of Hanjamaru, Digital Daesung, as a leader in education, has decided to start a new trend and adopt Hanjamaru as an educational tool for its students.
