Research Abstract	This study that had been conducted for 2 years aimed to clarify the relations and cooperations among Central Governmental Ministries in Education Policy Makings. The results obtained are as follows. In addition to the Ministry of Education and Culture which is mainly responsible to the national education policy makings, Ministry of Finance which is responsible to the financing of education, Ministry of Home Affairs which is engaged in matters of local school education, Ministry of Labor and Prime Minister's Office that take part in local education of life learning, and Ministry of Foreign Affairs that is engaged in matters of admittance of working students (Syugakusei) from abroad, have also playd the very important role in making national education policy. These Ministries have cooperated each other through official or unofficial way of negotiations for making education policy. And special attention was put on unofficial negotiations among these administrative organizations because of its political character. In other words, it is found that national education policies have been planned and formulated in the very political settings of Central Governmental Ministries. Thus this study presents the necessity of making research on national education policy makings from the point of political dynamics of hierarchy.
