Historical, comparative and empirical studies on educational administration and education systems to guarantee education for children and young people
This research area focuses on the following three subjects:
1. Guarantee of educational opportunities and the public education system (e.g. types, establishment and diversification of schools, educational opportunities outside the system, early school leaving, truancy and high school drop-out, children and youth administration, youth work, international comparison).
2. Formation and analysis of the current state of the educational conditions (staffing, types of teaching staff and employment, teacher recruitment, school placement, education finance, regional disparities, etc.).
3. Education policy processes and educational governance at central and local levels (e.g. enactment of the Act on Securing Educational Opportunities and Public Education Reform Policy, relations between heads and boards of education, prefectural and municipal boards of education).
4. Research on normative principles and values for governing educational administration and systems (e.g. equality, fairness, diversity).

*The Laboratory of Educational Administration, in collaboration with the Laboratory of School Management Theory, publishes a laboratory bulletin, Public Education System Studies. It includes the research results of graduate students and students. Graduate students also participate in the undergraduate 'Research Practice in Basic Theory of Education', where students, graduate students and teachers conduct joint research, compile reports and publish them in the above laboratory bulletin. The practical training is conducted by Associate Professor Takeshi Shinohara of School Management Theory.
