With the global attention and change to the software education, Korean ministry of education names the software industry as a new growth engine and software education is selected as a key challenge in the education field. In this study, we looked through the software education of Estonia as a reference model in order to design the software education and establish the national policy. Meanwhile, we examined the contents which can be helpful to organize the software education curriculum and select the way of software education based on the implications from the software education policy of Estonia. In addition, we verified the validity of this study through the expert qualification.
