| Research Abstract |
In the first year(1999), we visited the four chief cities of the Far East region and the East Siberia region in Russian, that is (1) Yujin-Sakhsrinsk, (2) Irkutsk, (3) Vradivostok and (4) Khabarovsk, where we visited many general schools, vocational schools, higher education facilities, facilities for off-campus activities and educational administrative organs and made interviews with teacher, manager and so on and collected many materials necessary for our research.
As a result, we made it clear, that the situation of primary, secondary and higher education are maintained as they were, and going on reform aiming at diversification.

In the both areas, we visited schools for the Russians and the national schools in addition to the research and training institutes for teachers. As a result, it has become clear, while population in farming areas is decreasing, education for the minority groups has been strengthened and the russian culture and the culture of minority groups are fusing, so that all people living in same areas share with the new cultures.
In the third year (2001), we invited the researcher and administrator of the local educational organs from Russia and held the international symposium named "the local education in Russia - focusing on two areas, Irkutsk and Khabarovsk". As a result of the symposium, it has been clear that the reconstruction of the economy in Russia has made it possible to improve the situation of education in this country. While many serious problems remain, some index of education, such as the number of students per teacher and class-size, are better than in Japan. Less
