Abstract

Much has been discussed, pursued, and insisted on the educational reform. The Final Report of the Presidential Commission for Educational Reform on December 12, 1987 is another important historical accomplishment. Education reform efforts in other major countries, such as the Final Report of the Temporary Educational Council published on August 7, 1987 in Japan, A Nation at Risk in U.S. on April, 1983, America 2000: The Education Strategy suggested by President Bush on April 1991 was full of suggestions that could be implemented here in Korea. In Early 1990s, a new, epoch-making educational policy, The Reform of High School Educational System, was suggested. The major goal of the policy was to readjust the proportion of general high school versus vocational high school.
