Towards Reform in Japanese Education: A Critique of Privatisation and Proposal for the Re-creation of Public Education.

Horio, Teruhisa

Comparative Education, v22 n1 p31-36 1986

In the debate on educational reform in Japan, the government's version of free choice would lead to commercialism and privatisation of education and an even more competitive system creating technocratic elites. In contrast, the Japan Teachers' Union has proposed reforms based on the people's right to justice in education. (JHZ)
