A Study on a Unified Lower and Upper Secondary Education System of Private Schools in Japan : Focused on the Report by Research Council of Unified Lower and Upper Secondary Education System of Private School in 1973(School Education)

In 1972, the Japan Private High School Federation received a request from the Education Ministry to do research on the consistency of the secondary school education system. In response to this request, the Federation founded the Research Council of a Unified Lower and Upper Secondary Education System of Private Schools in 1972, and the Council submitted a report in 1973. This report was the vanguard of this kind of research, because this report brought out essential points in this kind of education system. According to the report, private schools endeavored to maintain their own specific education philosophy and the consistency of secondary education that secondary schools under the old system of education had. Therefore, private schools can enjoy the educational benefits brought about by their school ethos. It will be necessary to learn from these characteristics of private schools in order that newly established public unified secondary education schools may develop further.8KJ00004722829departmental bulletin pape
