공교육의 내실화와 학교교육체제의 변화 = Changes of School System for Improving Public Education

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this paper is to review the discourse on "improving public education,' that is one of the most demanded tasks in Korea. The Ministry of Education and Human Resource Development focuses on raising the quality of education, for example, class size reduction, curriculum changes, more teachers, and more school buildings, etc. This paper, however, rather emphasizes the changes of school system, including the introduction of financially independent private school system. At first, the author points out the vagueness of the concept of 'public education'. In Korea, it has been considered private schools belong to public education system because they are controlled by the Education Law as public schools are. But rejecting that kind of broad sense of meaning, the author suggests a narrow concept, "being publicly funded' as the core meaning of 'public education'. Next, the author argues against the worries that the public education will be weakened by introduction of independent school system. Finally, the author proposes to approve the educational function of private sectors and introduce diverse programs into public schools.
