Outline of Final Research Achievements

The findings of this study are as follows: (1) Kobe City's out-of-school education system known as homen kyoiku program, begun in 1946, was formed in response to growing juvenile delinquency in which school teachers took on the responsibility to address the problem. In the 1950s, the program's sphere of activity expanded to save long-term absent students as well as safety education. In the 1960s, the visiting teacher system was begun in Kobe City to help solve the problem of long-term school absence surrounding students particularly in discriminated communities. （2）In the coastal fishery regions in Chiba Prefecture,the problem of long-term school absence became more serious in the 1950s. The teacher system and special classes for long-term absent students were instituted in mainly junior high schools, then visiting homes and guidance of learning was conducted for those students.
