This research aimed at investigating policy change process of after school contracting out and suggesting
future alternative. Also, this research conducted a literature search for the research data related to policy
and related regulations. As the result of investigation, the Ministry of Education established management
plan for after school, however there have been changes in policy, e.g. contracting out was executed from
2004 to 2008 upon autonomy of unit school through school steering committee deliberation(consultation),
while standardized procedure was conducted, which was suggested in 'After school operation guideline',
produced in cooperation between the Ministry of Education and municipal ministry of education from 2008
to 2015, while since 2016, contract law should be applied when after school contracting out is adopted.
Policy change since 2016 is based on the legal necessity that contract law should be followed as the
contract size of after school contracting out has become larger along with necessity of clarity of after
school contracting out. Nevertheless, there's a worry that quality of after school education could be
degraded due to lowest price bidding. The government suggested an alternative to prevent excessive price
competition by paying a regular rate of basic price as personnel expenses, however this research suggested
a plan to enact an ordinance in regard of specialty of after school educational activities and cities and
provinces as the fundamental solution plan.
