	Technology Education in Japan
		One of the policies adopted by the Japanese government in late 1957 was the introduction of technology education, gijutsu ka, as a required subject in all lower secondary schools beginning in 1958[1].
		With the introduction of technology education in the lower secondary schools, vocational education was moved to the upper secondary level as an elective course.
		In upper secondary schools, students enrolled in vocational technical education were required to take fundamental subjects such as "Fundamentals of Industry," "Mathematics in Technology," and "Practice." The goal of these subjects was to improve students' fundamental knowledge and skills, as well as accommodate new teaching materials and methods (Tamura, Arai, and Murata, 1985).

	Challenges for Multicultural Education in Japan
		Japan has never been as homogeneous as she appeared or wanted to be, and is undeniably becoming a society composed of people of multinational origins.
		Japan is embroiled in national controversy concerning the country’s capacity to assimilate different people and the role of education in socializing new immigrants.
		Whether the purpose of education in Japan will continue to be to assimilate minorities or to help them develop their full potential as future citizens remains to be seen.

	Moral Education in Japan; Implications for American Schools
		Japan is one of industrialized countries, implementing moral education under the strong administration of the government.
		Sometimes Japanese moral education is viewed as the counterpart of the one in the United States in terms of the perception of values.
		Moral education was again restored as an independent subject (Dotoku, which literally means "the path of virtue") and counted as a primary goal, with an allotted period (one hour a week, at all grade levels of compulsory education) assigned to it.

		Lucien Ellington is UC Foundation Professor of Education at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.
		Until recently, graduate education in Japan was underdeveloped compared to Europe and the United States.
		In 2001 the Ministry of Education approved a new junior high school textbook, written and edited by a group of nationalist academics, that omitted topics such as the Japanese army's mistreatment of women in battle zones and areas under Japanese rule and the Nanjing Massacre (Masalski 2001).

	Japan - EDUCATION
		Education of commoners was generally practically oriented, providing basic training in reading, writing, and arithmetic, emphasizing calligraphy and use of the abacus.
		A course in moral education was reinstituted in modified form, despite substantial initial concern that it would lead to a renewal of heightened nationalism.
		Despite the numerous educational changes that have occurred in Japan since 1868, and especially since 1945, the education system still reflects long-standing cultural and philosophical ideas: that learning and education are esteemed and to be pursued seriously, and that moral and character development are integral to education.

	Japan Education
		One of the interesting facets of early childhood education in Japan is the explicitly straightforward socializing functions of its schools.
		But beyond this, the Japanese think a major function of education is the development of a happy engaged, and secure child, able to work hard and cooperate with others (Peach, 1994).
		Education is compulsory for ages six to 15, or through lower secondary school.

	Outdoor Education in Japan
		Japan's geography is rather unique -- it is not on the Asia mainland, but consists of several volcanic islands.
		But Japan also has several thousand years of human culture and history (see Timeline of Japanese History and Overview of Japanese History), and thus has some unique focuses in approaching such problems the problems of post-industrial society.
		The "father" of outdoor education in Japan is arguably Dr. Minoru Iida, who did a PhD on experiential and outdoor education in the USA (at Penn State) in the 1970's, under Dr. Betty van der Smissen.

	International Higher Education--17/10
		In this context, the Japanese bishops' response to Ex Corde Ecclesiae, the 1990 letter of John Paul II, was primarily pastoral, and not particularly threatening to the university community.
		Since the number of Catholics in Japan is so small (less than half of one percent of the population), the bishops look to the Catholic university community as a principal source of strength in trying to change Japanese society according to the scale of values of the Gospel.
		The bishops' statement starts out with an evaluation of Catholic education in Japan, emphasizing the extremely important role it has played in evangelization during the last 130 years, from the time that preaching the Gospel was begun again after being outlawed for 250 years.

	Tim's Takamatsu - English Education in Japan
		The Ministry of Education has made English a mandatory subject for all junior high and high school students, but grammar and sentence structures are taught in an analytical way, more like a science than a living language, and correct pronunciation doesn't really matter.
		I would like to relate a story here that illustrates this, and made me really realize that Japan is in serious trouble concerning English education, but first I'll need to explain a little bit about the "school life" (as they call it here) of young students.
		Literally "education mama," this is often heard here and simply means a mother who has her kids always attending some special class or other.

	SIVACRACY.NET: Patriotic Education in Japan
		For some critics, patriotic education is especially dangerous in Japan because an emphatic allegiance to the state will render Japanese youth unable to resist the creeping demands for a fascist or militaristic government.
		Abe even suggested that the Livedoor Scandal, which is sort of hum-drum to Americans like me who are accustomed to Enron and Worldcom shenanigans, was the result of Japan's education system, presumably because the breakdown in authority, blah blah, too much individualism, blah blah, led its overly selfish young president to lie to shareholders.
		But it will shift the playing field a bit more in favor of Japan's conservative political elite, even as they will be forced to recognize that they have very little control over their nation's social and demographic transformations.

		Although education in Japan is in transition in many regards, it still retains its postwar organizational structure.
		Even with growing pressure for reforms and for more emphasis on individuality and internationalization in education, it is clear that educational changes would be a unique amalgam of traditional values and modern innovations.

		The children got the opportunity to ask questions to the volunteers and then the discussion moved on to the various Japanese summer festivals, the focus being on the Bonodori, ("odori" means dance).
		Students were amazed to discover what a large population Japan has in relationship to its small land mass.
		A team of 10 JSSDT volunteers introduced the story of "Tanabata" (the Star Festival which is celebrated in Japan on July 7) to forty pre-schoolers (age 4-6) who also learned the location of Japan, saw pictures of how Tanabata was celebrated and got a chance to wear "Yukata" (traditional Japanese summer kimonos).

	Education In Japan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		An interesting component of Japanese education is the thriving industry of juku and yobiko, after school "cram schools," where approximately 60% of Japanese high school students go for supplemental lessons.
		Juku may offer lessons in nonacademic subjects such as art, swimming, abacus, and calligraphy, especially for elementary school students, as well as the academic subjects that are important to preparation for entrance examinations at all levels.
		Juku and yobiko thrive in Japan, where it is believed that all people possess the same innate intellectual capacity, and it is only the effort of individuals, or lack thereof, that determines their achievement above or below their fellows.

	Education Imagery of Japan
		This study brings to the English speaking reader a rich visual history of education as one of the most important steps in becoming a contemporary nation, while providing an introductory method for pursuing further broader studies of educational iconography of Japan.
		Suggesting that the educational imagery found in Japanese prints, whether representational or nonobjective, were created from structural social patterns indicates that such visual experiences were shared by all people.
		This paper attempts to fashion a useful and flexible methodology with which to probe the education imagery found within the woodblocks produced in Tokugawa and Meiji Japan, and to assemble, display, classify, and describe the conceptual intensities in an otherwise diffuse body of artists works.
