Japanese Education Reform:
Nakasone's Legacy
Chapter 2: Background

Chapter 2 looks at what the role of education is and how its reform can be used as a means to bring about wider social reform. To provide further evidence of this, a historical background to the Japanese education system is also given, including an analysis of the previous reforms of the education system and how education reform became an issue once more. Finally, the chapter briefly looks at the actors involved in the policy making process in education and how education policy is normally made.
