ABSTRACT
Recent Trends and Prospects in Japanese Educational Reform in Secondary Education
Jong-Hyeok Yoon*
The study is concerned with providing recommendations for recent trends and prospects in Japanese educational reform, mainly in upper secondary education. Now, the aim of Japanese upper secondary education is to enable young people to establish a sense of self by confronting themselves as they deal with the various issues of youth, such as decisions about their career paths and their future way of life, and to foster richness and the qualities needed to live independently so that they can lead healthy lives as members of society. Furthermore, the tempo of change has become extremely rapid in recent years owing to internationalization, the shift to an information-oriented society, and technological innovation in various fields. Vocational education at the upper secondary school level must be adapted to these changes.
A number of issues concerning the current situation of upper secondary schools were highlighted in the April 1991 report of the Central Council for Education titled "Reforms of Various Educational Systems to Adapt Them to a New Age." For example, most general courses are geared toward university entrance and thus tend to be uniform in curriculum structure and implementation, with the result that there is insufficient provision for the diverse characteristics of students, including their abilities and aptitudes. There is concern that the resulting excessive competition in entrance examinations not only has an adverse impact on students' physical and mental health but also makes it difficult for young people to enjoy spiritually rich lives and accumulate adolescent experiences during their lower secondary education.

One issue that could not be ignored in relation to upper secondary education until recently was the rapid growth of the upper secondary school age cohort. The construction of new upper secondary schools, particularly in the general education category, became a priority in every prefecture. These included the establishment of a system of credit-based upper secondary schools for day/evening courses and correspondence courses, the introduction of a more flexible length of study, the creation of a system for accepting some credits earned by Japanese students abroad, and the expansion of admission and transfer opportunities for Japanese students returning from courses overseas through legislative amendments. In the area of specialized courses, new course models have been provided and facility standards have been amended. These new types of upper secondary schools are also functioning as pilot schools for educational reform in Japan.
