Abstract | The Japanese school administrator's job currently is little affected by demands from the legal system. However, 10 years from now the Japanese principal will likely be much more concerned with legal requirements. This paper describes education law within the culture of Japan and the status of various types of legislation. Data were derived from: (1) visits to a total of 17 Japanese schools (8 secondary, 4 elementary, 3 special education, 1 private, and 1 private preschool); (2) interviews with 17 principals, 15 vice-principals, 3 state education officials, and various head teachers and teachers; and (3) conversations with members of the Osaka Lawyers' Association. A conclusion is that political, social, and economic changes will bring about an increase in litigation involving schools. Parents are less willing to defer to educators, less trusting of the value of relentless academic pursuit, and less respectful of the teaching profession. Other changes include less dedicated teachers, media attention on excessive punishment in schools, and some lawyers' increased willingness to take on student rights cases. (LMI) |
