Jujagam (Korean: 주자감; Hanja: 胄子監) was the national educational institution of Parhae. It was established during the reign of King Mun, modeling it after the Guozijian (Imperial Academy) system of the Tang Dynasty. The head of the Jujagam held the title of gam (; ; lit. 'Overseer'), with the jang (; ; lit. 'Chief') serving under them. It was a government office responsible for executing national educational administration, ranging from the teaching of Confucianism to specialized fields such as gukja (국자; 國子; lit. 'National Studies'), Taehak (태학; 太學),[clarification needed] as well as law, calligraphy, and mathematics.[1][2][3]
