This paper examines government-supported university programs in South Korea over the last decade. To do this, we review the current status and issues of recent programs supported by the Ministry of Education. Thereafter, we draw some lessons and suggest policy implications for improving the effectiveness of government-supported university programs. The issues addressed include 1) low consensus amongst stakeholders in the higher education sector and top-down goal setting led by the government, 2) frequent reshuffling of the structures and contents of programs, 3) ineffectiveness due to redundancy of projects, 4) disparity between ‘haves’ and ‘have-nots’ in the higher education system, and 5) an inadequate evaluation system and assessment indicators. We suggest that government-supported programs should be re-aligned to stimulate the reform of higher education aimed at strengthening its publicness. The role of government needs to transit from ‘leading’ to ‘supporting’, while the universities should take initiatives in reforming the higher education system.
Abstract
This paper examines government-supported university programs in South Korea over the last decade. To do this, we review the current status and issues of recent programs supported by the Ministry of Education. Thereafter, we draw some lessons and suggest policy implications for improving the effectiveness of government-supported university programs. The issues addressed include 1) low consensus amongst stakeholders in the higher education sector and top-down goal setting led by the government, 2) frequent reshuffling of the structures and contents of programs, 3) ineffectiveness due to redundancy of projects, 4) disparity between ‘haves’ and ‘have-nots’ in the higher education system, and 5) an inadequate evaluation system and assessment indicators. We suggest that government-supported programs should be re-aligned to stimulate the reform of higher education aimed at strengthening its publicness. The role of government needs to transit from ‘leading’ to ‘supporting’, while the universities should take initiatives in reforming the higher education system.
