EngKey (English Jockey) robots started the year in 21 schools in South Korea. This is a part of an ambitious program which hopes to " be able to replace native English speakers in 3 to 5 years." The current English education system employs over 30,000 teachers from native English speaking countries such as the US, the UK, Australia and others.
