ABSTRACT

This paper examines the main agents for civic education and the system of transmission through which civic education is disseminated in Korea. In addition, proposals that may be effective for the education of citizens through the improvement of the transmission system are explored at the legal and institutional levels. Civic education must encourage the interest and capability of citizens to align with political parties, expand their political knowledge and insight, raise their ability to judge, and promote political participation under given circumstances. The main agents should come together to reach a "minimal consensus" with regard to the future direction of civic education, including primary agents, contents, and methods that could be used to overcome potential problems resulting from thediversification of the transmission system. It is expected that the institutionalization of civic education will ultimately fulfill the function of integrated financial support for citizens and social organizations that will provide civic education programs, such as Germany's Bundeszentrale fur Politische Bildung(federal agency for civic education).
