| Research Abstract |
In order to clarify the current state and issues among public school teachers with non-Japanese nationality, a series of research with three different approaches was conducted. First, the survey was sent out to the boards of education and this revealed that at least 257 teachers who have foreign citizenships are currently working in public schools. Secondly, in-depth interviews were conducted, targeting mainly the teachers with foreign citizenships. The data show that there are great diversity among the interviewees in the process of choosing their occupation, how they got appointed, and their relationships to other colleagues, parents, and children. Generational differences in the experiences among the teachers were also observed. Finally, the government's responses toward this issue have been analyzed. Overall, the results pointed out that there is a great lack of acknowledgment and understanding about non-Japanese teachers themselves and their status.
