According to the changes of unification education connected the peace process of each government, the name of historical subjects to take the initiative to overcome the division has been changed from civics saving the country to patriotic nation and onto the democratic citizen. Since Yushin reformation period, raising the democratic citizenship has been set up as the goal of unification education.
