The World History Digital Education Foundation said Sunday that the U.S. College Board in a board meeting recently accepted the foundation's proposal to include the "miracle on the Han River" in high school history texts.

WHDEF teamed up with the U.S. National Council for Social Studies to prepare the content. The NCSS has 110 regional committees in the U.S. as well as members in 69 countries around the world.

It will seek support from the government to research additional material on Korean history and offer educational trips to Korea for American teachers.
