According to our constitution Article 31 Clause 1, all people have the right to get an equal education depending on one`s ability. Furthermore, to guarantee this, a nation has to set up all kinds of education systems based on law. For this, Ministry of Education & Human Resources Development is enforcing `the Accountability System for Underachievers` Basic Learning Abilities` to prevent learning underachievement and to raise academic attainments of underachievers so that it can make the consolidation of public education and reduce the educational gap. However, this system hasn`t been appropriately functioning because of some reasons. First of all, each school has used their own standard for Basic Learning Abilities without any discussion and agreement about that. Moreover, there has been only formal and administration opportunistic support which has no consideration for individual characteristics of underachievers. Starting from recognizing this critical problems and situations, this study searches the range and limit of underachievers through consideration about their concept and looks around the realization of the right to education. As a concrete methods to be improved, an agreement about Basic Learning Abilities must be accomplished and a systematic and clear standard should be indicated to each school. Also, teachers have to guide underachievers responsibly and improve real support systems about underachievers. The most effective way for underachievers is the systematic learning consultation to understand individual characteristics of underachievers. Therefore, the foundation for effective realization of systematic learning consultation needs to be established. With getting over some problems mentioned above, `the Accountability System for Underachievers` Basic Learning Abilities` will practically be able to heighten the educational effect dramatically. At the same time, the right to education for underachievers could be guaranteed more substantially.
