The advisory group consists of 20 young people (aged 20 to 37) appointed through an open selection process, centered around the Ministry of Education's youth aides. Participants include university students, graduate students, and current teachers.

The advisory group is divided into four subcommittees: the Responsible Education Subcommittee, the Education Innovation Subcommittee, the University Reform Subcommittee, and the Education Issues Subcommittee. They are responsible for policy review, proposing tasks, and gathering opinions from the youth.

Lee Ju-ho, Deputy Prime Minister for Social Affairs and Minister of Education, stated, "The solutions to social challenges such as low birth rates, population cliff, and regional extinction lie in education," adding, "Education reform for the people can only be properly achieved when led by the youth."
