| Research Abstract |
The principal aim of our study is to clarify the conditions for the securing of schooling of foreign children in contemporary Japan. Their rate of school enrollment in primary education is estimated less than 90%. Several reasons are pointed out to explain their school nonattendance, but a basic one is seemed to be the exemption of foreigners from the compulsory education. Then, how to apply this compulsory education to foreigners living in Japan?We made researches on the conditions of this educational reform. And we found that the tendency of settlement of foreign population more and more accentuated makes impossible to leave the future citizens, regardless of their nationality, out of the compulsory education. However, the school choice is important for the foreign parents and, in order to widen the range of choice, the foreign schools and ethnic schools should be admitted as compulsory education school On these conditions, according to our questionnaire survey, about two thrd of Japanese teachers and other educational actors approved to apply the obligatory elementary education to foreign children.
