With the coming of low birth - rate and aging society, the university age population of the higher education is decreasing, thus the Korean Ministry of Education, Science and Technology started structure adjustment in 2011 by establishing ＂University Structure Reform Committee＂, which is specially in charge of closing private universities and dismantling and merging national universities and formally promotes the work of university structure adjustment. The critical assessment criteria for the adjustment includes： rate of undergraduates, rate of employment, rate of full - time teachers, rate of enrollment of the freshmen, student management, etc. The committee urges the lower 15% of the universities of the assessment to formulate ＂reform project of own structure＂, to promote automatically the structure reform of the merging of same disciplines and universities, etc. The effect of the structure reform is profound, thus the government and the universities should make the following efforts： to emphasize quality more than quantity, to formulate legislative laws for university reorganization and structure adjustment, to strength constructing universities with their own characteristics and to look for effective replacing financial resources.%随着韩国低生育率和高龄化社会的到来,高等教育学龄人口不断减少,为此,韩国教育科学技术部从2011年开始着手实施大学结构调整,成立专门负责停办私立大学和撤并国公立大学工作的＂大学结构改革委员会＂,正式推进大学结构调整工作。结构调整评价的关键指标包括在校生率、就业率、专任教师比率、新生入学率和学生管理等,对处于下游15%的大学采取各种行政和财政手段,督促其制定＂自我结构改革计划＂,自觉推进类似学科专业、大学合并等结构改革。此次结构调整影响较大,为此,政府和大学还应努力做好以下几方面的工作：一是重视从量的追求到质的提高,二是制定大学整顿及结构调整法案,三是加强特色大学建设,四是积极开拓有效的替代性财源。
