This paper attempts to clarify how the relationship between bureaucrats and professors in the field of education has changed in Korea. At the time of the developmental state, bureaucrats policy initiatives were very strong, with professors partially assisting in the policy process. At this time, new concepts and techniques introduced and implemented in education policies by professors who hade returned from the United States. After democratization, especially after the reform of education in 1995, bureaucrats and professors entered into the relationship of reformer versus the reform target, the evaluator versus the subject to be evaluated, and the financial allocator versus its recipient. This change is deeply related to the fact that since Korea was incorporated into the global education policy field, Korean education began to be baptized in the new public management reform introduced by the bureaucrats. Since bureaucrats have had the initiative in the policy process, analyzing so called the schema of educational educational bureaucrats should be an important research topic in the future.
