A Study on the Problems and Issues in a Decentralized Model of Educational Autonomy System

This study compared and analyzed the core theory on educational autonomy, the local educational autonomy system in foreign country, and a revised bill of the law on the local educational autonomy which is pending in the National Assembly. The study sought for a direction that needs to be pointed by the decentralized educational autonomy system in line with a real situation of Korea, based on the general opinions and views in members of educational board and main bodies related to education nationwide in terms of pending problems and issues of educational autonomy. The local educational autonomy system may be consistent with the constitutional spirit and vitalizes the essence in education when being separated and becoming independent of general administration. However, it needs to seek for a plan that maintains the mutually connective and cooperative system with general autonomy aiming at responsibility and right, efficiency in administration, and stable security in educational finances. According to the results of the study, it needs to be also sought a plan of blocking the dual deliberation and inspection system through supplementing the educational board system of local assembly, which is operated, by way of showing an example by Jeju Special Self-Governing Province. And, the election system a member of educational board and a superintendent needs to be changed into a semi-direct election system or resident direct-election system, and the standard for qualification of educational career needs to be maintained. In conclusion, the local educational autonomy needs to be revised a statute so that the interest of education beneficiary group can be reflected rather than a education related group, on the basis of harmony in autonomy and professionalism of education in addition to ideology of democracy called citizen autonomy.
