| Research Abstract |
In recent years, Japan has confronted many critical issues in education, including a decline in academic performance and non-attendance. Many new education policies have been enacted to deal with these issues, including free public high school tuition and limiting the class size of elementary school classes to 35 students. In our research, we seek to synthesize available data and to perform evaluation analysis of these educational measures. Results that deserve special mention include estimating the effects of high school tuition reduction measures in preventing dropouts, which differed depending on the course of study, and the effect of class size on academic ability, which differed between elementary and junior high school. As new educational policies are implemented going forward, there is an increasing public need to evaluate their effectiveness econometrically.
