This case study focuses on institution building, which can manage such a fundamental transition in education system on a national scale. Following a short introduction, a theoretical framework is discussed. This case study attempts to investigate the birth and growth of Korea Education and Research Information Service (KERIS) and explores the role of KERIS in planning and implementing one quite prominent strategic initiative to introduce innovative practices within the Korean education system - the cyber home learning system (CHLS). The objective of this case study is to find out key factors that the government needs to consider for successful institution building and those that determines the accomplishments of the missions assigned to KERIS. Using the CHLS policy case, in addition, the authors explore how KERIS implemented the CHLS policy in cooperation with regional offices of education, which are autonomous and in charge of education policy in each region in Korea. This case study will provide rich experiences that policy makers can refer to when they plan to build a similar institution or restructure an existing one. 2017-02-17T20:57:12Z 2017-02-17T20:57:12Z 2016 Working Paper http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/873091487332962473/Building-and-sustaining-national-ICT-and-education-agencies-lessons-from-Korea-KERIS http://hdl.handle.net/10986/26089 English en_US World Bank Education, Technology & Innovation : SABER-ICT Technical Paper Series,no. 3; CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Working Paper East Asia and Pacific Korea, Democratic People's Republic of
