A Study on Improving the Operation of Naeil Irum School for Out-of-School Youth

In this study, a comprehensive re-evaluation of the existing Naeil Lee Room School operating system was conducted to diagnose problems, and based on this, specific improvement plans were presented to seek to expand participation of out-of-school youth and increase the completion rate and employment rate. To this end, first, previous studies related to the operation status of Naeil Lee Room School and development plans were collected and analyzed, and implications were drawn. Second, in-depth interviews were conducted with 85 trainees, 12 graduates, 8 dropouts, and 16 workers from 9 Naeil Lee Room Schools nationwide to identify current operating conditions and problems, and to collect and analyze improvement ideas. Third, the study conducted on-site visits to Job Corps centers in Washington and Philadelphia, USA, and collected related data to benchmark them. Fourth, a survey was conducted on 709 out-of-school youths using out-of-school youth support centers, youth shelters, unlicensed alternative schools, protective disposal facilities, etc., including Naeil Lee Room School, to draw implications. Fifth, academy, field, and government experts and youth advisory groups were formed, and the final plan to improve the operation of Naeil Lee Room School was proposed by reflecting the review opinions.
