대안학교 학력인정에 관한 연구

Abstract

This study explained the rationales and suggested ways of accrediting the academic ability of alternative school. Alternatives schools are managed by many citizen bodies and the others to realize the educational right of teens who quitted the formal secondary school. But government does not accredited the alternative schools.In Primary and Secondary Education Law, ‘Hak Reok’ does not mean ‘school career’ but real ‘academic ability or attainments’ of a student. The current accreditation in the regular school requires students just to meet the official attendance days. Thus, the accreditation system has serious pitfalls that pupils are not accredited the qualification by the substantial academic ability but the formal school career. As a result, violation against the rule of legal equity is unavoidable unless we accredit the qualification of high performance pupils in alternative schools while accrediting the one of low performance pupils in regular schools. I think the present system is enclosed by 'schoolism' which accredits only the schooling and denies the diverse types of educational system and program. To solve these problems, it is necessary to accredit the alternative schools by designating and running the accreditation body of the schools, designating and supporting those as commission education agent, and mitigating the requirements for setup of a kind of school and life education institution.
