The scale of the budget required for the establishment of new schools by city and provincial offices of education is determined by the grant paid by the Department of Local Education Finance in the Ministry of Education that is evenly applied by each school level’s size. The grants are in accordance with area-based granting standards. These current granting standards have been gradually enhanced by various factors, such as changes in curriculum and education policies, and inflation. However, there have been some opinions that they do not fully reflect real demand. And the grants are paid equally according to school class sizes. However, there is a difference in the area (facilities) criteria for each new school for each city and provincial office of education and due to the characteristics of each region or school project size, there is a difference in the execution budgeting method. This study aims to comprehensively compare and analyze the area criteria of elementary schools that are applied as a criteria for the establishment of new schools by city and provincial offices of education, and to examine their characteristics to find realistic and objective improvements. The purpose of this is to provide basic data to the Ministry of Education when establishing policies in the future to provide a basis for proper area granting standards for new schools.
