  • Far Eastern University Institute of Education
    Far Eastern University Institute of Education The Institute of Education (IE) is one of the four original institutes that comprised Far Eastern University in 1934. At first, the Institute’s concentration was in Home Economics, to emphasize the education of women as a driving force in the home. Hence, an integrated program and special courses in Clothing and Textiles, Cookery and Interior Decoration were among its curricular offerings. In 1946, the IE was granted Government Recognition for the elementary and high school teacher’s certificate. In the same year, the university was empowered to grant the degree of Bachelor of Secondary Education as well as the postgraduate course in Education. In 1956, it was granted Government Recognition #399 for the Bachelor of Elementary program with majors in General Education and Special Education. In 1973, it was granted permission to offer the Master of Arts in Teaching, and in 1977, its Doctor of Education program was recognized. The Institute of Education was granted permission in 1997 to offer 18 units of credits in professional education. In 2001 and in 2002, new programs were established – Bachelor of Science in Education major in Sports and Recreational Management (SRM) and the Teacher Certificate Program (TCP). Under the vertical articulation program of CHED, the administration of the graduate programs in Education was transferred from the Institute of Graduate Studies to the Institute of Education in 2007. To date, the Institute has graduated thousands who are actively engaged in the teaching profession not only as teachers and professors in public and private institutions of learning here and abroad but also as school administrators, researchers, authors of textbooks and other learning materials, as well as officials of government.

  • The SDRCC As Experienced by a Japanese Colleague
    The SDRCC as Experienced by a Japanese Colleague by Kazushige Ogawa, Expert Staff, Japan Sports Arbitration Agency and Adjunct Professor, Rikkyo University and Hosei University (Tokyo) February 2012 In 2011, the SDRCC and the Japan Sports Arbitration Agency (JSAA) entered into a Reciprocity Agreement to stimulate partnership and collaboration between the two organizations, including the sharing of expertise and knowledge. In the same year, the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) granted sponsorship to JSAA to provide training opportunities for experts in the field of sport dispute resolution; the grant allowed me to visit the SDRCC as a trainee for a period of 17 weeks, from May to September 2011. Orientation Program for Employees During my internship at the SDRCC, I had the opportunity to attend several orientation and education sessions for new staff members where I was able to learn about the SDRCC programs and materials; it allowed me to understand everything about the SDRCC, including its case management system and arbitration procedures, its prevention and education initiatives and resources, as well as and the Canadian sport system in general. Although all of JSAA’s employees have law degrees, they would benefit from more orientation on arbitration, sport governance and sports laws more precisely. The JSAA should consider adopting a similar education system if it expands due to an increasing caseload. Canadian Sport Society - Values, Openness and Transparency In July, I was graciously hosted by Sport Canada in Ottawa to learn more about the Canadian sport governing structure as well as ethics and anti-doping activities.

  • The Principles of the Graduate School of Governance Studies' English
    Message from the Dean Playing a Leading Role in the Search for New Directions Hiroo Ichikawa, Ph.D. Dean, Graduate School of Governance Studies Japan entered the twenty-first century still suffering the aftereffects of the collapse of the bubble economy in the early 1990s. This prolonged slowdown shook the confidence and pride that the Japanese had developed during their postwar era of spectacular growth, while rapid globalization cast doubt on the nation’s ability to compete internationally. Now we are in the midst of a worldwide recession triggered by the U.S. subprime loan failure. Under these pressures, we will without doubt see great changes in the political and administrative environment. In the coming era, people will be more aware of how their own communities are managed by local bodies, and there will be a growing need for cooperation and collaboration between the national and local governments. Japanese companies, having shown signs of recovery, must now withstand a renewed economic downturn, and they are also being called on to contribute more to society. In short, we can no longer rely on solutions that have worked in the past; we are facing new problems, and the responsibility for solving them lies in our own hands. Contents In other words, it is now urgent that we strengthen the capacity of actors at the local level to formulate and implement policy. 2 Message from the Dean Against this background, the objective of the Graduate School of Governance Studies, as a professional 3 Introduction to Meiji University graduate school, is to produce graduates capable of meeting the political and administrative needs of the coming era.
