Abstract

￭ Abstract ￭ Purpose: This study utilizes the concept of 'veto players' to answer the questions of why college admissions policies have changed so frequently in the past and whether the instability of college admissions policies will continue in the future. Design/methodology/data/approach: This study analyzes the concept of veto players to formulate a hypothesis about policy change, and tests the hypothesis by analyzing prior research on changes in college admissions policy. Findings/Results: The veto players in Korea's college admissions policy began to form after the establishment of the special high school and the cracks in the high school leveling system, and apart from the government as the agenda-setter, the veto players are parents (as a group), universities, political parties, teachers (as a group), and admissions authorities. The policy preferences of veto actors vary depending on the nature of the agenda-setter, the government, so it is difficult to judge them uniformly, but the cohesion of each actor will continue to strengthen in the future. According to the hypotheses of veto theory, future policy is likely to be more stable than volatile. This is because the number of veto players has increased and their cohesion has become stronger. Value: The study found that the key factor for the change in college admissions policy is related to the high school system, and predicted the possibility of future policy changes.
