Multicultural and Multiethnic Education in Japan
Educational Studies in Japan: International Yearbook No.4, December, 2009, pp.53-65 Multicultural and Multiethnic Education in Japan NOMOTO, Hiroyuki* In Japan, the Ainu people have been living mainly in Hokkaido and many Koreans continue to live since the end of the World War Two. Since 1990’s, the number of migrant workers has increased rapidly. In this sence, Japanese soci- ety has been multicultural and multiethnic. However, those minority groups have been strictly discriminated against in Japanese society and in schools, they have not been given opportunities to multicultural and multiethnic education. Against the ignorance of their culture and language, those minority groups established their own schools apart from existing school system to educate their children with pride of their own culture and language. Today those interna- tional and ethnic schools have an important role in providing foreign children with alternative education. Then, those schools have to be supported financially by the Government. The struggle of the Ainu people to establish their own school should be also supported by the Government, since the Ainu people have been recognized as an indigenous people by the Japanese Government. With globalization, the number of foreign students has rapidly increased in public schools. In order to respond to the educational needs of those chil- dren, the educational authorities have begun to provide them with special pro- grams for teaching Japanese as a Second Language (JSL) and with native language instruction. Concerning JSL programs, the period of the program should be extended to more than 5 years. It is too short to develop cognitive/academic language proficiency (CALP). -

Your strength and good spirits are what keep me going, even through the most difficult times. I would also like to thank my sister Sara and the rest of my family (especially Aunt Lorna and Aunt Leeann) who kept in touch with me over the summer, and offered invaluable support. It meant a lot to me. I also owe a great deal of gratitude to the three mentors who helped me with the World Food Prize Symposium and Internship: Susan Stroope (thank you for sponsoring me), Pamela Pilcher (thanks for the assistance with the research and guidance), and Karen Stiles (thank you for allowing me to apply this experience to my studies). -
Distinctive Features of Japanese Education System
Distinctive Features of the Japanese Education System “Thus there is a general belief that a student’s performance in one crucial examination at about the age of 18 is likely to determine the rest of his life. In other words: the university entrance examination is the primary sorting device for careers in Japanese society. The result is not an aristocracy of birth, but a sort of degree-ocracy” (OECD, Reviews of National Policies for Education: JAPAN. 1971 p.89) What are the distinctive features of the Japanese education system? Explaining the characteristics and features of the Japanese education system to readers from other countries is not an easy task. In the process of educational development, Japan modeled its system after the developed countries in the West, and introduced many elements of the school system from those countries. Japan has a well-developed educational system in which the structure and function has much in common with many other industrialized countries. However, it is possible to identify some characteristics that are particular to the Japanese system. In the tradition and culture of Japan, some parts of the education system often function differently from those in other countries. In its social context, some functions of the education system have been excessively exploited, and other functions have been relatively disregarded. At the same time, distinctive features represent both the strengths and weaknesses of the Japanese education system. While with the passage of time some features have changed, other features have remained unchanged for many decades. As a point of departure, we discuss one notable work treating this topic. -

Annual Report 2016 Our Mission
ANNUAL REPORT 2016 OUR MISSION The mission of Asia Initiatives (AI) is to leverage the power of social capital to promote healthcare, education and sustainable development, striving to bring positive change in the quality of life of people in underserved communities. FROM OUR PRESIDENT... Dear Supporters of Asia Initiatives, Here are 4 reasons why Asia Initiatives is laser focused on social capital as a lever to empower communities: 1. Every individual in the world has social capital that can help develop his or her community. Our current financial system fails to recognize this tremendous asset. Our methodology of Social Capital Credits enables every one to realize their own potential. 2. Local people know their needs better than any outside experts. Over the past 60 years, too much international aid has been wasted trying to bring to communities what experts thought they needed. These projects usually dry up as soon as the money does. We believe that local people should express their own choices on the what, when and how of development. 3. All the knowledge and the work about the poor communities should be co-produced with them. 4. Dignity is the most important part of development. Giving someone charity is not only unsustainable but robs people of that dignity. The implementation process of SoCCs starts with SoCCratic dialogues in which people envision a better future for and by themselves- often for the first time ever! In 2016 SoCCs were scaled-up in eight existing projects in four countries where initiation projects had shown strong results, and closed in two sites where the pilots did not work well for various reasons. -
