| Research Abstract |
First of all, I carried out the historical research on the system of upper secondary education in Japan after World War II.The idea of educational reform to 6-3-3 single system was 'equality of educational opportunities for all'. When the new educational system started, high schools were open to all who desire to attend and handicapped children should been able to get not only compulsory education but also upper secondary education too. School Education Law has allowed the upper secondary departments of special schools (Article 71 and 72) and the special classes for the disabled students at high schools (Article 75).
Secondly, I made the positive research on the administration of upper secondary education for children with disabilities. The following six kinds of discrimination and inequality of opportunities on upper secondary education were identified ; (1) discrimination to the disabled, especially (2) discrimination to children who can get education only by visiting teacher sysytem, (3) inequality among types of disabilities, (4) inequality among severity or seriousness of disabilities, (5) inequality among prefectures, (5) inequality among areas in same prefectures, .
Finally, I investigated the right of the disabled youth to 'complete secondary education' which meant both the through process from lower to upper secondary education and significant education for the adolescent.
