Technology drives S Korea 'smart' school

We already have witnessed how technology and internet revolution have changed the modern day communications.

South Korea has gone a step ahead and unveiled a 'smart' high school where roll calling is a thing of the past and tablet computers or 'smart pads' have replaced bags burdened with notebooks.

The prototype 'smart school' has technology at its core where students are experiencing the ultimate high-tech education.

The government believes that a digital economy will require a technology-savvy workforce, and the new school seems to fit into their motto: Today's pupils are tomorrow's pioneers.
