The reform of teacher policies to raise the quality of teachers has been one of the major priorities of countries around the world. Especially, the structure of elementary and secondary teacher education institutions has been the focus of international teacher policy reform agenda. Despite the problems faced by Korean teacher education system, the reform policy effort has not been actively pursued.

We found that the restructuring of Irish system was triggered by both domestic and international initiatives to tackle the problems of the system. The restructuring effort was led by the government and showed several distinctive features, such as reducing the number of institutions, combining elementary and secondary teacher education institutions, and strengthening research capacity of institutions. Base on the findings, a few policy recommendations were made to reignite the discussions on the reform of teacher education system in South Korea.
