Abstract	School broadcasting has a relatively long history in Japan. Radio programs intended for school use were inaugurated by NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation) in 1935, and school television broadcasting began in 1953. As of April 1986, the NHK sends 7 hours and 30 minutes of radio programs and 32 hours and 15 minutes of television programs per week, which are aimed at various levels from kindergarten through senior high. Approximately 24,200 primary schools (97%) use at least some of NHK's school broadcasts. The first big change in educational broadcasting in schools in the past 35 years was in 1960 when radio and television utilization rates exchanged places and television took the lead. The second change has been the diffusion of videotape recorders (VTRs) and the increase in use of recorded programs. Many schools are now setting up VTR tape libraries for school use. This paper introduces the history of educational broadcasting in schools, and discusses current problems of school broadcast utilization based on results from various research studies, including nationwide annual surveys of the utilization of school broadcasting since 1950. This second edition of the report provides statistics on school broadcasting for 1985 as available; the first edition reported 1983 statistics. (DJR)
