Abstract

The Foundation of private secondary schools under Japanese colonial rule had an identity as an educational institution for Koreans. However, there were differences in the foundation’s operating structure and composition depending on the subject of the school establishment. Sookmyung Girls’ School, a school related to the royal family of the Korean Empire, had a broad stipulation on the role of the foundation, and the foundation was operated by Japanese officials.
