The purpose of this study aims at exploring policy directions and tasks for the reform of the teacher compensation system by delineating the problems of the current teacher compensation system. This study was based on theoretical examination and analysis on the principles used in deciding public officials' reparation, and how those decisions are being reflected in the teacher compensation system. Also, this study touched on the idea of compensation, theory of compensation, system and types of compensation, determinatives of compensation level, and standard of analysis. The results of this study are as follows; The teacher compensation system is losing its original teacher compensation objective, the reward package is weak, and the system is overly complex. Furthermore, there is limited frequency of promotion to a higher grade, while response concerning the basic principles used in determining compensation is passive, and legislative consciousness on the special treatment of teachers is lacking. The plan of course for the teacher compensation system can be epitomized as follows; First, it is necessary to simplify the compensation system for teachers. Second, it is necessary to change the present compensation system(single-salary schedule) into the double track salary schedule, which reflects the results of study or training and the results of degree acquisition. Third, it is necessary to reconstruct the teacher salary class system to a pragmatic level. Fourth, it is necessary to devise an effective allowance system by converting the fixed allowance into a variable allowance. Fifth, it is necessary to distinguish the gap of promotion in the salary step between teachers in primary and secondary schools. Sixth, it is necessary to pay an overtime allowance for teachers. Seventh, it is necessary to establish a "law to acquire excellent teachers." Eighth, it is necessary to introduce the price rate incentive system of a department itself and also as a group.
