【摘要】在构建终身学习体系和学习型社会中，扩大接受高等教育的机会、提高正式学习和非正式学习的沟通、建立先前学习成果的认定机制都是非常重要的。在此背景下，韩国学分银行制度应运而生。学分银行制度是适应新型知识型经济、老龄化和低生育率社会的一个关键项目。韩国学分银行的成功发展主要依赖于与教育机构的合作、灵活的课程、多样的学习项目开发和先前学习成果的认定。同时，本文还提出韩国学分银行制度面临的一些挑战，如先前学习成果的认定费用、学习者奖学金和助学金的筹备、相应的质量控制系统的建立等。

Abstract: In lifelong learning society, the mechanisms such as extension of opportunity of higher education, enhancement of interchangeability between formal education and non-formal education, and recognition of prior learning become so crucial. Based on these, this paper lays out the background of the Academic Credit Bank System (ACBS) in Korea, The ACBS is a critical program to prepare for and adapt to the emerging knowledge-based economy, and the aging society with low fertility rate. The reasons behind successful development can be explained by the accessibility to educational institutes, flexibility of revisions of curriculum, development of various learning subjects, and the recognition of prior learning. Finally I suggest some challenges to be solved that the ACBS is facing. In order for a further progress for the ACBS in Korea, there requires recommendations such as appropriate accreditation for prior learning, funding methods for learners in ways of grants or scholarships, and the establishment of quality control system.
