| Research Abstract |
Japanese education is at turning point. Schools are required to recognize the needs of society and collaborate with social institutions in order to be responsive to the social changes. Closer link with economic structure and more collaboration with corporations have been encouraged. As a result, school curricula tend to focus on more vocational or practical aspects of knowledge such as information technology.
It is important to analyze how Japanese industry looks at such changes in education and how they evaluate the outcomes of the educational changes. From our survey, most companies still suggest that school education should focus on basic abilities, particularly creativity and character-building. The In-company education and training are still considered to be crucial to obtain practical knowledge and skills.
It is expected that there will be more changes in the employment system in the near future. However, it may take some time before the industry appreciate the changes of education fully and the efficient collaboration between the industry and schools can be made.
