Current state and issues of career education under the Career Education Act 2015.

Since the implementation of Career Education Act at the end of 2015, national interest on career education has been even more greatly increasing. More than 3,200 middle schools adapted Free-Semester programme for the students to explore their potential career paths and informations. However, many of the schools still lack the manpower or the facilities to conduct effective career education. In addition to that, the role and function of National Career Education Centre should be established and the direction for the future policy for career education should be considered. This study examined the state of career education from primary to higher education levels, conducted FGI to receive field opinions, and explored the ways and recommendations to improve current situation. Four strategies were recommended for future career education policy, each with a number of sub-strategies: 1)reinforcement of career education at primary and secondary education levels, 2)expansion of career education at higher education level, 3)reinforcement of infrastructure supporting career education, and 4)revision of Career Education Act. ..
