The purpose of this study is to analyze issues and to suggest alternatives for teacher supply and demand policy according to governmental plans for improving conditions in education recently issued. The Ministry of Education and Human Resources(M0E) reported plans for reducing the number of elementary and secondary students per classroom and teacher supply subsequently caused by the reduction. The government plans to increase 23,600 elementary and secondary teachers between 2002 and 2003. The plan is problematic in the point that elementary teachers have been less supplied recent years. Despite this apparent shortage, the government has plan for supplying many more teachers at such a short period. The government's current teacher supply plan is not compatible with the basic principles of teacher supply and demand policy, which are considered to 1) the first priority among teacher policies, 2) rational planning process, 3) the importance of quantitative balance between teacher supply and demand, 4) the stress on supplying quality teachers. The issues of teacher supply and demand policy were analyzed in terms of the four principles of teacher supply and demand. Finally, based upon the results from the analysis, some long-term alternatives for teacher supply and demand policy were recommended.
