  • Shifting Away from the Public to Miscellaneous:The Case of Korean
    Japan Border Review, No.Summary 8 (2018) Summary Shifting away from the Public to Miscellaneous: The Case of Korean Schools in Tokyo CHOI Safa There used to be 15 public Korean schools in Tokyo, Japan until March 1955. These schools were closed and restarted as miscellaneous schools from April 1955. Miscellaneous is a legal status of schools in Japan besides public and private. Due to this legal status Korean schools have been facing difficulties such as not receiving financial support from the Japanese government. The aim of this paper is to analyze how public Korean schools in Tokyo closed in March 1955 and turned into miscellaneous schools in April 1955. This research was conducted through historical review of documents from the official record, diaries, and newspapers. On 8th September 1951, the Treaty of San Francisco was concluded. Article 2-a of this treaty prescribed the change of territory between Japan and Korea, but there was no legal decision about the nationality of Korean residents in Japan. The Japanese government’s interpretation of Article 2-a was that Korean residents in Japan should not be allowed to keep their Japanese nationality. As a consequence the Japanese government declared an official notification changing the status of Korean residents from Japanese nationals to “Alien” in April 1952. The Ministry of Education intended to close public Korean schools and to end compulsory education for Korean residents in Japan. Moreover, in the mid-1950s, communist ideas were spreading among some Japanese schools and Korean schools in Tokyo. This led the Ministry of Education to make a law towards teachers to stop them teaching communist ideas, while at the same time, the Board of Education in Tokyo imposed six specific rules towards Korean schools in the Tokyo area to force these schools to comply with Japanese law.
