Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the laws related to the operation of overseas Korean schools and to suggest directions for improving the laws. To this end, we tried to compare and analyze the Overseas Korean Education Act and the bylaws of overseas Korean schools divided by type, check whether there are any discrepancies or contradictions between the Overseas National Education Act and the actual school's bylaws, and reveal related issues. While overseas Korean schools existed before the Overseas Korean Education Act was enacted, the articles of incorporation of overseas Korean schools were created and applied through a school corporation. A problem is occurring. When looking at the operating conditions of overseas Korean schools centering on the base schools through the articles of association analysis, it was confirmed that the actual operation was inconsistent and mixed in various forms. In this study, the analysis of the legal system for the operation of overseas Korean schools is divided into the aspects of school operation and governance, curriculum operation, and teacher recruitment, and it is intended to emphasize the establishment of a correct legal basis for the smooth operation of overseas Korean schools. Considering the characteristics and types of overseas Korean schools, and considering the complex and incomplete reality of domestic and foreign legal systems, it is suggested that it is necessary to review and secure consistency and systemicity in operation.
