Research Abstract	1. Educational Activities and School Management Students' competence for decision on their future way of life and for positive living is not sufficient. Educational activities on nurturing these competence should be provided at each school by the school management that can bring collabolative activities among teachers. 2. Students' Competence for Decision on Career Paths and Vocational Education The fairer half of the students can draw perspectives of their future way of life and carrer paths. Their perspectives are affected by TV rather than by teachers. Vocational education should consist of not only theoretical studies but also skill practice to make the students' competence for occupational choice more sufficient. 3. Neccessity of New Subject "EDUCATION" It is most fundamental problem of nurturing the students' competence for their future way of life and positive living to recover the decline of the educational function of family by taking measures to create new required subject such as "EDUCATION" in upper secondary school, because most of the students are prospective parents.
