  • The purpose of this study is to critically reflect on whether the higher education(HE) restructuring & funding policy proposed by the Moon administration can properly tackle the structural problems confronting Korean HE system. The three major structural problems having entrenched during the rapid expansion of Korean HE system since 1945 can be identified as (1) a 'high cost - low efficiency system' based heavily on 4-year private universities, (2) lack of clear distinction of the roles and connection among different types of higher education institutions (HEIs), and (3) provider-oriented education system and culture seemingly still being widespread at Korean HEIs. This study analyzed the validity of Moon Administration's HE restructuring and funding policy from both a macro- and micro-perspective. From a macro-perspective, this study raised concerns regarding the projects to nurture a national university and a government-dependent private university which will require huge public money. In terms of both the feasibility to secure enough funds and the validity of the proposed policy measures in the existence of unclear roles between public and private HEIs in Korea, this study criticized these policies and proposed, as an alternative policy measure, a low-cost and flexibly operated HEIs such as a government-dependent polytechnic, and a measure to increase connection between different types of HEIs. From a micro perspective, this study suggested, based on 'the expanded principal-agent theory (Waterman & Meier, 1998)', that it would be considered to introduce a more flexible approach in designing the level of government intervention depending upon the maturity of quality assurance procedure at individual universities and the level of goal conflicts between government and individual university.

  • 교육인적자원부의 대학구조개혁은 향후 대학교육의 질적 고도화를 위한 기초이며 이러한 혁신을 위해서는 고등교육에 대한 충분한 재정 투자가 뒷받침 되어야 하겠다. 지속적인 경제성장을 위해서는 기술혁신과 이를 위한 인재양성이 최우선일 것이며 이런 점에서 정부는 대학에 대한 투자를 과감하게 확대해야 할 것이다.
