The purpose of this study was to identify the actual condition and problems of Mongolian teacher quality management of selection and qualification and to recommend improvement. We examined the Mongolian teacher qualification management system with four criteria based on previous research. The results of this study are as follows. Mongolian government established quality management mechanisms such as selection of pre-service teachers, verification of teacher certificate, and appointment of in-service teachers, and teacher qualification standards. These Mongolian teacher selections and qualification systems were operated to attract the manpower required for teaching, to verify their qualifications and to induce professional development. However, the systems have not been able to verify the teachers' ability to practice in the field. We also found that the systems themselves were criticized for failing to guarantee conformity, fairness and transparency. Based on the results of this study, we discussed and draw policy implications for improvement of teacher quality management of selection and qualification in Mongolia.

The purpose of this study is to find a better way for placement of teacher librarians. So, the literature research is applied for the study. It is unreasonable to arrange one school librarian staff per 1,500 students, based on the criteria of the total number of personnel including that of teacher librarians and practice teachers and librarian, in accordance with the existing enforcement decree of Article 7. In fact, this clause, linked to other related regulations, makes it difficult to place teacher librarians. And the quota of teacher librarians is noticeably low as compared with that of other teachers who are not-teaching the subject matter. This operates disadvantageously to teacher librarians when it comes to assigning quota in secondary teacher selection test and the accumulation of this phenomenon gradually worsens the current situation. The roles of teacher librarians and librarians should be defined separately when amending the Enforcement Decree of School Libraries Promotion. And we should also take into consideration that the number of students per school is around 500. Therefore, Enforcement Decree of School Libraries Promotion Act should be revised toward placing teacher librarians depending on the size and number of schools. Predictability should be secured in teacher librarians selection test. In addition, flexibility should be granted to the training institute so that many people can prepare the teacher librarians qualification. Finally, it is necessary to increase the teacher librarian capacity for private schools. This study will be the basis of the theoretical foundation for stable teacher librarian placement.

The qualification test for robot technology is developed to provide a standard for evaluating professional knowledge on robotics and is currently under consideration to be one of the government-approved qualification tests. This test has a level to which elementary school students can apply, but is not recognized by most teachers in elementary school compared to so called "after school robot classes."

The purposes of this study are to analyze the higher education admission policy of France and to draw policy implications for Korea. For this study, literature reviews and interviews (face-to-face, email, telephone) were adopted for main research methods. The major findings were as follows: First, baccalaur?at diploma is necessary for higher education admission in France but each higher education has different admission policy according to their legal status. University has open enrollment policy and has no student selection process. Other higher institutions such as grands ?coles select students based on students' academic achievements. Second, baccalaur?at is national diploma which shows successful conclusion of the upper secondary education and gives right of access to higher education. This diploma is awarded to candidates who have passed a series of standardized written and oral tests drawn up at national level (10/20points). Third, students' academic achievements in high schools are major criteria for admission for higher institutions which has student selection process. Fourth, entrance exams implemented at college level are various according to higher institution. Last, 'Admission Post-bac-APB' site is used to support and facilitate the whole admission process. Based on these findings, several policy implications were suggested.
