| Research Abstract |
As a result of this study we found ‘seeds'for fruitful educational society in the countries with which this study dealt Alternative forms of development were in progress in the countries which have gone through radical reform in education Such systems as quality control function in the way that they do stop widening gap of educational opportunities in a society
In Australia, though they face various difficulties of disputes between local administration and alternative schools, interesting cases such as publicly-run Waldorf schools can be seen.
In Asian countries they seek to find how to create publicly-run privately-operated schools as well. However, at the same time they deal with various types of problem. In Korea an alternative school were pending in court, and in Taipei another experimental school was at issue and nearly closed down. In Japan, there are innovative cases of schools or facilities supported by municipal ordinance. On the other hand, it is not difficult to see ‘pitfalls'for such practices to be trapped in atop-down administrative reform.
Apart from these individual cases, there are themes in common among various nations. One of the most important topics is relationships between ‘public sector' and ‘private sector'. Questions posed are what and how the inner should guarantee and what kind of public good the latter create. Collaboration between these sectors are an urgent matter. Again we have found fruitful practices on this as well. Cases particularly from New York City and New Zealand should be worthwhile mentioning.
