【摘要】韩国国立开放大学有过成功的历史，但目前它正处在困境之中。本文通过数据分析， 描述了开放大学所存在的主要困难：①报名人数和在学学生的人数急剧减少；②学生注册率呈连续下降趋势；③学生出现女性化和大龄化的趋势；④学生数量少于招生指标的院系数目增多，不同院系学生数量之间的差距增大。根据韩国开放大学的经验，作者提出以下建议：把学生数维持在一个合理的范围内；开放大学要尽力提高教育质量。

Challenges Facing the Open University:
the Case of the Korea National Open University
Duck-Jay Park & Sung-Soo Kim
( Korea National Open University)
Abstract: Although the KNOU has successful history, it has been in a difficult situation recently. By comparing the statistical figures of the university in the early 1990s and 2000s, we can delineate the followings as the major difficulties. Firstly, there was a sharp decrease in the number of the applicants and students. Secondly, there was a continuous downward trend of the enrollment rate of the admitted students. Thirdly, there were feminization and aging of the student population. Forthly, the academic departments with students less than the quotas increased and the gaps in student numbers between the department widened. In terms of policy implications to the Open Universities, we propose the followings based on the experiences of the KNOU: we should maintain the number of students within a reasonable limit; the Open University needs to do its best to improve quality in education.
