In this paper, the national education curriculums in China and Korea have been analyzed and compared.
Conclusively, by analyzing curriculums implemented in Korea it can be see that as-called quality-building
education is to some extent advancer than the so-called "quality-oriented education" which is being now
implemented in China. The curriculums content arrangement in Korea is apt to require student to be
capable of practical comprehension and flexibly utilizing knowledge, rather than the scale of mastered
knowledge. Owing to this situation, the problem that students can hardly become the eligible talents who
can satisfy the requirement of social development, is existed in modern China, although they might be
adept in examination. Hence, the design of curriculums in China should be based on the self-building of
students, and can learn some useful experiences from education curriculums in Korea. In the aspect of
education system, curriculums content setting in china is nationwide the same due to long-standing
centralized system for education. However, in Korea setting right for curriculums is delegated. Educational
activities in different district are performed highly dependent on locally educational level and practical
situation. In this regard, in order to make talents training courses innovated and accordant with national
situation, curriculums setting in china may have to reference experiences of curriculums setting executed in
Korea. For the system management of educational curriculums, management right for county-level and
school-level may have to be more subdivided.
