영화 <도가니>를 통해 본 사회복지시설 민간위탁의 문제점과 개선방안 모색

Abstract

This study aims to examine the problems resulted from contracting-out of the social welfare facilities and to investigate a wide range of possibilities to solve them. I also try to examine the problems between principals and agents, analyzing the movie The Silenced which is about children sexual violence taken place in Gwangju Inhwa School through the Principal-Agent Theory. The result is as follows; first, the selfish principal, the consignee who was in charge of Jaeh School, school for the disabled appointed his relatives and acquaintances who were not equipped with sufficient qualifications as teachers of the school. This leads to the poor education for the students and covering up the faculty’s illegal acts. Second, while Mujin Metropolitan Office of Education and Mujin City Hall, the consignor, intend to make a representative school for the deaf in the local society, the principal, the consignee aims to promote his personal distinction through the school. Like this, the imbalance of the goal between the consignors and the consignee results in serious disruption. Third, Mujin Metropolitan Office of Education and Mujin City Hall designated Jaeh School as the outstanding educational institute and gave enormous financial support by the partial information of the school and the principal. Likewise, there is a distinctive limitation for the government to manage and supervise the privatized contracted-out institutes. Therefore, we can infer from the film, The Silenced that nothing but collective intelligence can save altruistic behaviors of consignees.
