| Research Abstract |
Research accomplishments and findings include the following.
1 To actualize enhanced quality in education through the implementation of the school choice system as its driving mechanism, the school choice system must be formed into a program where the school board, as a function of local educational administration, takes the initiative role.
2 Taking the most prominent success case as seen with the school reforms in Shinagawa ward, analytically speaking, the success or failure of educational reform depends on how harmony and integration between the leadership taken by educational administration bodies and self-initiative actions taken by the school and individual faculty members is achieved. On this point, the school choice system needs to be propositioned as a program guaranteeing opportunities to validate self-initiative actions and function as a means to invigorate faculty members who have the confidence of "I know I can make a difference and change the school" but have been discouraged in not being exertive when caught in turmoil between the public school and educational administration system.
3 Understanding of the school choice system as one form of institutional principle to actualize harmony between popular control and professional leadership is important.
4 The current domestic research studies citing the negative aspects of the school choice system, point out the existence of a clean and fixated line between schools of choice and schools out of choice as a problematic issue. However, those research studies view the school choice system based on the principle of just taking in simple market principles, and not taking into account the school choice system based on the principle of "checks and balances."
5 Among those schools implementing the school choice system, the potential of the school choice system based on the principle of "checks and balances" is starting emerge.
