The purpose of this study was to investigate the perceptions of Korean teachers and supervisors in local office of education on curriculum completion standard setting for elementary and lower secondary school period. Curriculum completion standards consisted of two main elements, attendance rate and subject content completion criteria in English education, on which three research questions were focused. For this study, a questionnaire was administered to 1187 research participants including 1059 school teachers(elementary 602, secondary 457) and 128 supervisors in charge of curriculum implementation in 17 provincial office of education. An independent t-test and a One-way ANOVA were performed to explore whether there was a statistically significant difference between the teacher-supervisor groups and among four teacher groups. The results showed that, even though significant differences were found in some parts, most of all teachers and supervisors had favorable opinions towards setting both attendance rate and subject content completion criteria as curriculum completion standards in relation to English education. Noteworthy was that the result revealed that the higher the level of school year grade, the more setting of curriculum completion standards were required. The findings of this study will contribute to an understanding of the perceptions of teachers in elementary and secondary schools and supervisors in the local office of education, which can be utilized when setting standards of curriculum completion as national educational policy in Korean context.
