| Research Abstract |
1. School Choice and General Education
In many countries there are some kinds of streams in the secondary school system. It is very difficult to give possibilities for broad scope of subject choice in small schools. There are possibilities to provide broad scope of subject choice if they use a distance education system as in the U.S.A. or Australia. On the contrary it is effective to introduce school choice system in city parts.
2. Evaluation by Standard Test
Many countries tend to introduce standard tests by the end of some grade. They try to major skills and knowledge and let teachers pressure to assure the results. If they have only one standard, students, who can't reach the standard, loose their interests for learning.
3. School Evaluation and Assurance the Quality of Education
In many countries which fulfill standard tests, they are interested in the results of tests. But it's much important te develop the skills and knowledge of students. That means not only the results of tests but process of the development in each student has to be considered. The efforts of the schools should be shown for all.
4. Harmony of Diversities and Cummon Education
The educational policy in Japan tried to change from teaching very controlled and homogeneous knowledge and skills to supporting self learning of the students. But nowadays the trend is changing to teach basic skills and knowledge which all students need. In addition to basic skills and knowledge, students should be developed good social skills. Not only for the purpose of the realization for themselves, but for the contribution for communities or the state, the concepts of "Literacy" must be inspected what that means. Or the relation of "literacy" and "competencies" has to be inspected for the sake of clarify the aim of the school system.
