This study confirms the ‘Dongrae Women's Vocational School’(東萊女子實數學校), which was an educational institution for women's vocational education in Busan during the modern period. We also check how Australian female missionaries were involved. Dongnae Women's Vocational School(東萊女子實數學校) was established in the Dongnae area as a successor to the vocational class operated by Tongyeong Jinmyung Girls' School. This school was established for the survival and independence of women and girls who suffered during the Japanese colonial period. This school was opened in the surrounding area where Australian missionaries were active. Education at the school was divided into morning and afternoon classes, and basic elementary knowledge education and vocational training were provided in parallel. The practical education included subjects such as sewing, handicrafts, weaving, and subjects related to the agricultural and livestock industry such as horticulture, flower cultivation, fruit and vegetable cultivation, and livestock, and Korean cuisine. The Dongrae Women's Vocational School(東萊女子實數學校) was changed to a charity organization after the Japanese forced them to visit the shrine and the missionaries resisted it. However, the basic policy of women's unemployment education has not changed. This school was handed over to the Korean Young Women's Christian Association after the Korean War, and under the name of Dongrae Nongyewon, it contributed to women's vocational education. Dongrae Nongyewon was changed to a space for education, lectures, seminars, and gatherings for women after the agreement of the YWCA Federation Executive Committee on July 3, 1965.
