The purpose of this study was to analyze problems of the Korean Local Educational Governance System and to present future directions. The Korean Local Educational Governance System was reestablished in 1991. Since the Law was revised, many problems have occurred. And various groups insisted to change the new Law. In this study, validities of revision proposals were analyzed. The new Law on the Korean Local Educational Governance System is needed to change before the next election of board of education members in the following areas: educational autonomy area level, character of board of education, inspection authority, selection of board members, selection of superintendent and deputy superintendent, and local educational finance. Revision proposals of the Ministry of Education, the President's Committee on Education Policies, the Korea Federation of Education Association, the National Board of Education Presidents' Association， and the Democratic Liberal Party were compared. The results of research are as follows: (1) In the future educational autonomy should be implemented at the level of counties not at the level of provinces. But in the present province autonomy situation, the delegation of authorities is important. (2) The present status of boards of education should be maintained. The voting rights of boards of education on regulation enactment, budget, etc. should be acted finally at the boards of education. So the results should be only reported to the board of general administration. (3) Inspection authorities on regulation enactment, budget, etc. should belong to not the board of general administration but the board of education. But if the board of general administration has supported financially, that case is exceptional. (4) Board of education members can be selected at the province level. The ratio of persons who have professional experiences should be lowered less than 1/2. Requirements should be lowered. The maximum number of board members should be less than 20. (5) Superintendents can be selectecd by one of the following methods: present method, registration method, and recommendation method. The registration method is recommended. According to the changes in election laws, however, the direct election by citizens is also possible. (6) The deputy superintendent should be appointed by the superintendent, not by the President through the prime minister after recommended by the Minister of Education. The number of professional staffs in local governments should be increased. A cooperation council among local governments is needed. (7) The degree of self-support in finance should be enhanced. The educational finance system should be revised in the aspects of security and distribution. Also education taxes should be collected not by the national government but by the local government.
