在回顾二战后日本的教育趋势时，作者发现，目前的国家数据集不包含有关家庭背景或学校等级的问题，这些问题足够详细，可以对家庭背景对教育成就的影响进行重要分析。考虑到日本在当今国际社会中的地位，政府一直不愿收集家庭收入或教育背景数据，沿着收集学校等级和/或补习班类型的精确数据，这似乎是疏忽。作者讨论了可能导致不愿收集此类数据的文化和政治原因。
In reviewing educational trends in Japan during the post-World War II era, the authors found that current national data sets do not contain questions about family background or rank of school attended that are detailed enough to permit a significant analysis of the impact of family background on educational attainment. Given Japan’s stature in the current community of nations, the continued government aversion to collecting family income or educational background data, along with precise data on rank of school attended and/or types of cram school, appears negligent. The authors discuss both cultural and political reasons that may create a reluctance to collect such data.
