국가교육위원회의 법적 성격과 관련법제의 개선방안

Abstract

From the year in 2002, it has been steadily raised the pledge dubbed the establishment of an education policy with a long-term vision by presidential candidates. In the wake of many discussions, the 「Bill on the Establishment and Operation of the National Education Commission」 was enacted on July 20, 2021 and then took effect from July 21, 2022. Based on this, the National Education Commission came to be launched after many twists and turns on September 27, 2022. The opinions were divided between pros and cons starting from its establishment. Many things happened not only in the process of enactment and but also in the composition of the committee. However, the foundation in the National Education Commission may be considered to have a great significance from the perspective of the people who hoped for a consistent education policy without the influence of the regime change. Unlike this expectation of the nation, the opinion has been presented as saying that the National Education Commission has not produced any meaningful result so far since its establishment. It has only been about a year since the National Education Commission Act came into force. And it has been about a year since the National Education Commission was formed. At this point in time, the aim here was to seek problems and its improvement measures, which were seen in the National Education Commission Act, for the sake of the successful settlement down the road. Especially, with regard to the sections that the National Education Commission fails to make a big achievement, the core problems were judged to include the legal nature and its position in the National Education Commission, and the division affairs and its scope shown in the relationship with the Ministry of Education. Hence, the improvement method for the National Education Commission Act was intended to be reviewed in terms of this.
