학생 배경에 따른 방과후학교 참여 가능성 차이 분석 및 시사점

Abstract

This study tried to analyze how the difference in after-school participation according to student backgrounds have recently changed. For this purpose, this study compared the probability of after-school programs participation from 2019 to 2022 using survey data on private education expenses for elementary, middle, and high schools collected by Statistics Korea. The rate of participation in after-school programs showed a slight recovery after the end of COVID-19 pandemic. On the other hand, the participation rate in private education appears to be high and continues to increase. The participation in after-school programs was more active in educationally underprivileged groups, such as rural region and low-income groups, while the probability of participation of high-income groups continued to decrease. In addition, the probability of after-school program participation appeared to be different by birth order, employment of all parents, private education participation, etc., and such results appeared to differ depending on the school level. The probability of participation of the second above children was found to be lower in elementary school. And the probability of after-school participation was higher in the employment of both parents, such a trend was clearly evident in secondary school. There is a significant difference by private education participation in the middle school and the specialized high school, and it becomes more evident recently. Based on the results of this analysis, policy implications for increasing participation in after-school programs were discussed and presented.
