The purpose of this study is to explore how to ensure juveniles right to education in detention centers and correctional facilities. School-based education is essential for children and youth’s development. Although Constitution, UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, Education law and related human right regulations require to provide education to all the children and youth, due to the various barriers Korean juvenile justice system fails to implement educational service in all the juvenile facilities. Out of 10 juvenile detention centers, only 4 centers provide official educational services and youth offenders in Juvenile Correctional Facilities cannot excess to public educational services. Instead, vocational training and GED courses are mainly implemented in juvenile justice system. Through reviewing related studies and current educational services in juvenile detention centers and correctional facilities, five policy implications are presented for juveniles’ right to education. First, like US Every Student Success Act, Korean education law should be amended, enabling Ministry of Education to be a lead agency to provide school education for juveniles. Second, special education program should be developed and implemented for juveniles in detention centers and correctional facilities, Third, multiple related government agency, such as Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, Ministry of Health and Welfare, and Ministry of Education need to work together to ensure education right. Forth, in the long-term perspective, minimizing imprisonment strategy must be established in order to ensure juveniles’ right to education. Lastly, the public’s perceptions toward juvenile delinquents need to be addressed to amend related law and improve juvenile justice system.
