Project Summary
This project is funded by the Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research (KAKENHI), Kiban A, No.15H01987, “A Cross-National Research of Japanese Educational Efforts to Meet the Needs of the 21st Century and the Construction of International Models: Exploring Pluralistic Models.” (Head: Ryoko Tsuneyoshi). This project explores educational models from various countries which try to meet the needs of the 21st century, and attempts to build bottom-up educational models from the Japanese (and more widely, the Asian) experience. The working paper series introduces characteristic school practices in Japan, as well as trends in Japanese school education which are relevant. Internationally, because of the Japanese language barrier, information about Japanese school practices has often not been accessible. The project team hopes that introducing such information in English will enable exchange in ideas and information across borders.
