Abstract

Since the beginning of the 21st century, Korea has come up with many policies and used the budget to realize decentralization and balanced national development. However, as of 2023, the concentration of population in the metropolitan area and the hollowing out of the non-metropolitan area have resulted, and the Yoon Sukyeol government has established a comprehensive plan for the local era that integrates the two major policy concepts. This paper critically diagnoses the government's comprehensive plan for the local era and the special educational development zone system, emphasizing the timely value of fostering local resident-type talents, which is the main goal of the policy, and argues that the task of improving Korea's educational culture should be added. To this end, the background and meaning of the Yoon Suk Yeoln government's introduction of the 'First Comprehensive Plan for the Local Era' are examined, and the special education development zone system and the regional innovation university support system are compared. It points out the practice that has been disconnected from elementary and secondary schools, just as the academic administration and policies of local universities did not meet the actual demand of local industries due to the university ranking culture that has been overemphasized in the process. In the conclusion, it emphasizes the timely value of this system and presents it as a task that at the same time should include the education-cultural dilemma in the planning stage. This study is an attempt to combine cultural and historical perspectives with existing educational administration and policy considerations, and it is significant in illuminating the direction of national projects that are expected to invest a huge budget.
