This book is an up-to-date critical examination of schooling in
Japan by an expert in this field. It focuses on developments in the
last two decades, with a particular interest in social justice.
Japan has experienced slow economic growth, changed employment
practices, population decline, an aging society, and an
increasingly multi-ethnic population resulting from migration. It
has faced a call to respond to the rhetoric of globalization and to
concerns in childhood poverty in the perceived affluence. In
education we have seen developments responding to these challenges
in national and local educational policies, as well as in
school-level practices. What are the most significant developments
in schooling of the last two decades? Why have these developments
emerged, and how will they affect youth and society as a whole? How
can we best interpret social justice implications of these
developments in terms of both distributive justice and the politics
of difference? To what extent have the shifts advanced the
interests of disadvantaged groups? This book shows that, compared
to three decades ago, the system of education increasingly
acknowledges the need to address student diversity of all kinds,
and delivers options that are more varied and flexible. But
interest in social justice in education has tended to centre on the
distribution of education (who gets how much of schooling), with
fewer questions raised about the content of schooling that
continues to advantage the already advantaged. Written in a highly
accessible style, and aimed at scholars and students in the fields
of comparative education, sociology of education and Japanese
studies, this book illuminates changing policies and cumulative
adjustments in the daily practice of schooling, as well as how
various groups in society make sense of these changes.
