Unfortunately. it's a fact that there are still insufficient grounds to base this opinion on. and that adequate research has not yet been done in this particular field. Therefore. basic research must be performed in order to systematize the substance of clothing and textile education. Keeping this in mind. the following study strives to find appropriate methods of conducting clothing and textile education, while attempting to provide basic materials for future organization and selection of contents. In order to achieve these goals. the materials have been sorted into three categories : First of all. what sort of concepts is being taught in the subject of clothing and textile. and are the chapters constructed so that different schools can maintain consistency among them\ulcorner Second, how has clothing and textile education been done so far and is the contents correctly synchronized with the students'development\ulcorner Third. haw is clothing and textile education utilized in real life. and has it actually been systematized in a way that encourages practical utilization\ulcorner This study has mostly been done through the research of various documental resources.

This study proposes an educational direction to be followed by the clothing departments of Korea's specialized high schools in order to help achieve high levels of job placements and to strengthen their students' competitiveness. A comparison was made of the curricula in Korea's specialized high schools and in several fashion schools in other countries including the United States, Italy, France, Taiwan, and Japan. To this end, publicly available educational records were retrieved from domestic school documentation, vocational high school portals, and domestic/overseas school web sites, and were then reviewed. The archival data extracted from these sources shows that the curricula of the three chosen domestic schools uniformly focus on foundational courses such as general computer skills, general design, accounting principles, design principles, and drawing, as well as practical courses such as the design of western clothing, fashion design, fashion CAD, management of clothing material, design of Korean clothing, and knitting. Unlike these standardized courses, it was found that overseas fashion schools provide a more technically-advanced and design-focused education based on the interests of the individual student. Moreover, their education system nurtures the students' creativity through adequate field experience and history/language education. The findings of this study suggest that Korean specialized high schools should find a way to accommodate their students' interests and to provide them with personalized fashion education by adopting a more flexible curriculum. An educational line that considers the individual student's aptitudes and career path will help foster creativity and novel ideas, which, in turn, will contribute to the development of the fashion industry.
