South Korea is set to transform elementary education in the next three years which will result in a huge market for home grown electronics.
All elementary-level education material in the country will be digitized by 2014. By 2015, all school-age curriculum is to be delivered through computers, smartphones and tablets. The country's education ministry has revealed that it will spend $2.4billion on purchase of the tablets and digitizing material for them.
Debates about whether or not students learn better from display screens or printed material are already on. Also being discussed is the ideal form factor of devices to be used in place of text books.
This seems to be a huge business opportunity for Samsung as governments and students are considered as captive audience.
