The two prominent universities and junior colleges form the system of higher education in Korea.
This means that almost same level of university students and junior college every year in Korean
higher education and also means the level of contribution at national development is almost same. In
spite of considerable numbers of junior colleges, they have been neglected as they are in Korean
education system, by being interested in only universities.
Meanwhile, if we take a look the debates surrounding junior colleges and junior college students,
the main issue related to junior colleges is going on the ‘The Effects of junior college’ and the
main issue related to junior college students is going on the ‘The Success of junior college students’.
Now ‘The Effects of junior college’ means the result of junior colleges education on college basis, it

Success of junior college students’ means the result of junior college education on students basis, it
causes lots of discussions over centrally ‘The Success of junior college students’ - ‘Do junior college
students succeed?’
Therefore, to critically review on the debate over the Effects of the Junior College Education on
Students basis totally different opinions from ‘The effects of junior colleges’ or ‘The effects of junior
college education’, this article examined as follows. First, I examined present condition of Korean
higher education and status of junior college through the feature of Korean higher education and the
importance of junior college. Second, I partitively suggest conditions on main issue related to the
effects of junior college education with junior college basis and student basis. Finally, to critically
review on the debate over the Effects of junior college education on student basis, I suggest
conditions on a standard of judgment of the effects of junior college education and then indicated
problems on debates over the effects of junior college education.
