New learning apps hint at growing digital education industry in North Korea

New learning software featured in DPRK state media helps children learn English or study math

North Korean children may soon have access to a new batch of learning apps, including software to study English and manipulate 3D models, state media reported this week.

A recent article in the state-run DPRK Today website revealed three educational apps built by the Chongryu Economy Technical Company (청류경제기술사), which appears to be a modest company trying to make a quick buck, experts said.

“They appear to be a really small company that is just trying to use their IT knowledge to put together some easy learning apps and perhaps try to sell it. I assume it’s a very lucrative idea,”
