In many societies today, educational aims or goals are commonly
characterized in terms of "equality," "equal opportunity," "equal
access" or "equal rights," the underlying assumption being that
"equality" in some form is an intelligible and sensible educational
ideal. Yet, there are different views and lively debates about what
sort of equality should be pursued; in particular, the issue of
equality of educational opportunity has served as justification for
much of the postwar restructuring of educational systems around the
world. The author explores different interpretations of the concept
of equality of educational opportunity in Japan, especially as
applied to post-World War II educational policies. By focusing on
the positions taken by key actors such as the major political
parties, central administrative bodies, teachers' unions, and
scholars, he describes how their concepts have developed over time
and in what way they relate to the making of educational policy,
especially in light of Japan's falling birthrate and aging society.
