무상교육·보육정책으로써의 누리과정 현황과 개선방안

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify current status and improvement areas of Nuri Policy as free early childhood care & educaion from parents using those institutions(daycare center and kindergarten), to analyze the result compared to those of 2013 and 2014, and to propose substantiality enhancement plans for Nuri policy to be fully implemented. Research outcomes are as follows. First, when looking at the trends of additional expenses paid by parents in 2014 vs. 2013, standard curriculum showed about 3,400won increase per month and special program had about 7,000won increase per month. Also, 34.2% of parents answered that saving from Nuri Policy was used for children's private education, number of private education was increased by 0.6 course, and private education expenses were increased by about 39,000won in 2014 vs. 2013, from all of which we judged private education expense increased after Nuri Policy had begun. Second, there was a large gap in expenses parents are paying, according to institutions their children were attending. Based on these outcomes, this study proposed mitigating differences in expenses between institutions, standardizing Nuri Curriculum allowance uses, strengthening management and supervising of extra curricular activity program, re-examining after-school support allowance.
