평생교육 정책 결정 과정 분석

Abstract

This study provides an academic analysis of the development of the Lifelong Education Voucher policy, employing Kingdon's Multiple Streams Framework(MSF). Problems include indicators of lifelong learning participation rates and adult competencies, and the limitations of lifelong learning policies to address existing gaps in lifelong learning participation. Additionally, the political stream scrutinized the influence of the social environment, regime transitions, and the initiatives of lifelong learning organizations in revising lifelong learning legislation and enhancing the overall system. Lastly, the policy stream delved into the proposals put forth by the Ministry of Education(MOE) and lifelong learning organizations aimed at bolstering the Lifelong Education Voucher. The analysis underscores that the political stream emerges as the primary driving force for the emergence of the policy window, in conjunction with issue-driven dynamics. Within the policy stream, lifelong learning organizations initially advocate for broader support for marginalized groups, later the MOE suggested alternatives. The finalization of this policy is closely aligned with the budget allocation determined by the National Assembly. The MOE assumes a pivotal role as a policy leader, while lifelong learning organizations also exhibit leadership in policy advocacy. This highlights the incongruities within the policy-making process, as envisioned in the MSF, emphasizing the necessity for collaboration between formal and informal stakeholders in the realm of policy-making.
