The aim of this study is to investigate the legal issues of the curriculum books system: concretely to analyze the Korean current legislative system related to the curriculum books and its important contents, next to set up the principles which the legislative system related to the curriculum books must pursue through related theory researches, and finally to deal with problem and solution of the related legislative system. The results of study are as follows. First, The analysis results show me that the clauses related to the curriculum books system are found in a Constitution, the Fundamentals of Education Act, a Primary and Secondary Education Act and so on. However, as they are almost abstract, they have to be changed into more concrete regulations by the authorities concerned. And the most of legislative contents related to the curriculum books system are included in `the Regulation concerned with Curriculum Books` as the administrative regulation. Second, I can draw as the basic principles pursued by laws related to curriculum books system the subordination to right to education, the curriculum books system ordained by legislative law, proper distribution of authority and maintenance of harmony with curriculum. Third, the present legislative system related to the curriculum books doesn`t seem to coincide with basic principles suggested above. Especially a phenomenon which the power concerned is concentrated upon the Administration problem just as a formalization of the curriculum books system ordained by the law is serious. Finally, it is necessary to actualize the principles of legislation for curriculum books system, to divide the curriculum books into a state-designated textbook, an authorized textbook, or an approval textbook appropriately, to control the executive discretionary power properly, to uplift the justice of an adjective law, to guarantee the participation of teachers and parents of students into the educational content administration, to apply the duty to use the curriculum books flexibly, and so on.
