美 軍政期의 私學 硏究 = A study on the private schools during the period of U.S.Military Government in Korea

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

After the Korean people were liberated from Japanese colonial rule, the U.S. Military governed south Korea for three years (1945-1948). The purpose of this study is to review the changes in Korean private schools and examine how much the private schools contributed to Korean education during the period of U.S.Military Government in Korea (USMGIK).
Except for special classes, most Koreans were limited educationwise and had no opportunity to enter secondary schools or higher institutions during the Japanese colonial ruling period.
After the liberation of Aug. 15, 1945, USMGIK, in order to help Korea to be a democratic country, adopted a democratic educational system. Thus, the Korean people could have an equal opportunity for education, and the number of people who were able to go to school was increased more and more.
But it was not financially practical for USMGIK to allow all that wanted to enter schools. But USMGIK wanted many private schools to be established whether they had good facilities or not.
Many mission schools which had been closed down by Japanese imperialists were reopened, and many that wanted Korea to be reconstructed as a new and great country participated in founding private schools.
The main educational policy of USMGIK was 1) publish and supply new text-books for elementary schools, 2) retrain teachers, 3) incline for a single line of school system, 4) combat illiteracy, 5) establish compulsory education, 6) expand secondary and higher education and 7) establish teacher’s colleges.
Under this educational policy there was an increase of 350 public elementary schools and about 800,000 students, but about 20 private elementary schools were eliminated and the attendance of private schools dropped from 26,000 to 7,000.
Private secondary schools doubled from 35 to 78, and private higher institutions tripled from 10 to 30. This means that the private secondary schools and higher institutions played a large role in Korean education during the period of USMGIK. We can be sure that the private school founders and leaders were very proud to take part in this noble cause also.
