다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper discusses the overview of Lifelong Learning Account System operated in South Korea and various future challenges. Major challenges include basic infrastructures for activating Lifelong Learning Account System and a flexible link with related systems for the stable operation and settlement of Lifelong Learning Account System. The authors suggest the following efforts for successful settlement of Lifelong Learning Account System. First, National Institute for Lifelong Education should operate the information network more smoothly with local governments, schools, and private lifelong learning institutions in relation to the lifelong learning account system. Second, it is necessary to relate to Lifelong Learning Account System smoothly to the relevant credit accreditation, degree acquisition, employment market, and Geomjeonggosi system(the national qualification exam for high school and university). Finally, it is necessary to simplify and partially integrate the application process and standards of each lifelong learning institute's lifelong learning account system accredited learning programs.
