The purpose of this study is to establish a feasible monitoring system for the implementation of Global Citizenship Education (GCED) in South Korea that can both align itself with the global indicator (SDG 4.7.1) and reflect the domestic context and feasibility. To this end, the study continues to examine the extent to which GCED is mainstreamed in education policies in Korea by utilizing the monitoring tool developed by the aforementioned 2020 study. In so doing, it aims to build sustaining and robust data in the area of GCED policies with the consistent monitoring tool developed. Second, the study explores enabling aspects as well as gaps between policies or programmes and how GCED is implemented on the ground by schools and teachers. Through this analysis, the study draws implications for further refining of the developed monitoring system. Third, the study surveys and analyzes existing monitoring tools developed by other fields and the data accumulated through those existing tools to assess learners' knowledge acquisition, values, skills and attitudes relevant to global citizenship competences, In so doing, it explores possibilities and makes recommendations for effectively monitoring learners’ competences by utilizing and modifying existing tools as well as developing new ones.
