ABSTRACT

The government offers basic and expert technical education for farmers to increase human capital and expertise of farmers because the population and competitiveness of farmers is declining. In particular, Farmer's College provides expert technical education for farmers. One of the factors of the emerging issue of education for farmers is the male-oriented perspective of the overall policy measures conducted by entities such as the U.N. Because women's opportunities are structurally limited and women are peripheral as farmers in Korea, education for farmers should be discussed as gender policy. This study focuses on expert technical education and conducts gender impact assessment on long-term education programs in Farmer's College. This study found that policy measures are necessary to reflect gender impact assessment in the Farmer's College. First, the overall structure of education plans and documentation should be replaced by formats reflecting gender perspectives. Second, the Farmer's College should expand opportunities for female farmers to participate in education programs by adopting affirmative action programs for female farmers and married couples to take together. Lastly, education for government officials is necessary to prepare budgets incorporating gender perspectives.
