Federation of Korea Abacus

Korean abacus education is evolving from a past-oriented, spoon-fed education to a 'brain development certification education' starting in the year 2000, the millennium era.
Abacus, the basic language of mathematics education in the global era, is the first step toward STEA M (integrated education). It is a basic mathematical education that greatly helps prevent dementia in the elderly, which is rapidly increasing, and reduce the number of math dropouts.
Starting with neighboring China, Japan, and India, especially after UNESCO designated it as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2013, the use of abacuses has been rapidly spreading throughout the world, starting with Southeast Asian countries, and then to the United States, Central Asia, Europe, and more.
In order to spread the love for the country and the excellence of the Korean people, we are working to spread the excellence of abacus and mental arithmetic by preparing to widely distribute 'Abacus and mental arithmetic starting with Hangul' to Koreans in Korea and around the world.
Dear “Abacus People” who love abacus education!
We ask for your active participation and generous support with deep interest and boundless love for abacus.
thank you!
Chairman of the board Joongchul Kim
