The overall task in the second stage of this research project is 「Measures to establish a manpower nurturing system that will lead the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution」, which consists of two Basic Tasks; “Change plans for human resource development policy for the 4th industrial revolution” and “A study on human resource development policy for the underprivileged for integration”. In terms of the basic task 1, ‘Discovering policy policy tasks for elementary school education due to a decrease in the school-age population’ in the first year and ‘Searching for ways to change the education system for nurturing future talents’ in second year of the stage. In the third year, ‘Exploring adult competencies in the future society and suggesting directions for lifelong education policy’ was conducted. For basic task 2, ‘Basic human resource development policy research for the vulnerable’ and ‘The intensive study of human resource development policy research for the vulnerable in Education field’ were conducted in the 1st and 2nd year, respectively. In the third year, the study ‘Suggestions for improving a promotion system in the development of lifelong education in the era of Post Corona’ was conducted. The details of each task are as follows.
More specifically, in terms of Basic Task 1, ‘Discovering policy tasks for elementary school education due to a decrease in the school-age population’ was conducted in the first year, and the features of future school education due to the decrease in the elementary school-age population was predicted and the priority of elementary school education issues was derived through literature analysis and Delphi survey. In the second year, 18 policy tasks for future talent education were presented in three areas, teaching subject, curriculum, and school system through the study ‘Searching for ways to change the education system for nurturing future talents’. Based on these results, basic information on policies to be focused on in future education was provided and implications for the direction of the policies were presented. In the study ‘Exploring adult competencies in the future society and suggesting directions for lifelong education policy’ conducted in the third year, the 20 competencies required for Korean adults in the future society were identified and 11 competencies with high priorities were examined. Moreover, this study identified the development status of adult competency by analyzing educational programs operated by lifelong education institutions based on 20 adult competencies identified through literature analysis and Delphi survey. Through this, it provided implications for the development of self-directed and balanced competency development of individual adults, competency development using various educational methods, and a comprehensive competency development management system for each individual’s life cycle.
In terms of Basic Task 2, in the first year, through ‘the Basic human resource development policy research for the vulnerable,’ the definition of concepts and target for the vulnerable were set, and the role and policy model of human resource development for the vulnerable were discussed. Based on the results, the current status of human resource development policy projects for vulnerable groups by government ministries was analyzed. This study is meaningful in that it has prepared a policy guide for deriving policy tasks for human resource development for the vulnerable in the future and providing the policy direction. In the second year, the study ‘Intensive study of human resource development policy research for the vulnerable in Education field’ identified educational status and practical educational needs for out-of-school youth, multicultural youth, and middle-aged people, and finally proposed human resource development policy tasks for the education vulnerable. The results of the human resource development policy study for the vulnerable conducted over the first and second year are expected to contribute to establish policies and set the direction for the vulnerable in the future. Finally, in the third year, a study on the suggestions of improving a promotion system in the development of lifelong education in the Post Corona era was conducted. This study examined the current status and problems of the lifelong education promotion system from ministries, and derived macro- and micro-change demands of the lifelong education promotion system through in-depth interviews and Delphi surveys. In addition, the lifelong education promotion system of Germany, Sweden, the UK, and the United States was analyzed to draw implications for improving lifelong education promotion system in Korea, such as the role of local governments and the implementation of lifelong education policies initiated by Ministry of Education.
