A Study about the planning of Local Government for the Life-Continuing Education

本文首先对茨城县、岩手县、新泻县、广岛县、冈山县五个县在终身继续教育方面的项目和活动进行了比较研究。其次，对茨城县城镇（特别是佐岛镇）的终身继续教育活动进行了研究。在地方自治团体中，有一种相反的趋势，即有的承认城镇独立自主地为终身继续教育制定计划，而有的则认为城镇只是上级（主要是地方自治团体）指示的接受者，并将城镇的活动限制在垂直结构的行政管理范围内。在乡镇终身继续教育活动中，主要存在以下问题：一是对终身继续教育的理念和理念不太清楚，无法做好规划；二是乡镇的校长（市长）命令其他领导不重视成人继续教育政策；第三，他们的活动根据居民参与计划制定过程和实施分为两种风格或形式，一种风格主要是事件举办，另一种被认为与社会的整体发展密切相关，第四，他们的活动几乎由教育当局单独举办，没有总统行政当局或机关的合作和参与。

We have first made a comparative study of the Projects and activities of five Prefectures (Ibaraki, Iwate, Nigata, Hirosima, Okayama) concerning the Life-Continuing Education. Then second have we made a study of the activities of the Cities and Towns (especially Sasima Town) under Ibaraki Prefecture concerning the Life-Continuing Education.There are contrary tendency among Prefectures that some recognize Cities and Towns independently to make plans on one's own initiative for the Life-Continuing Education, but on the other hand some recognize Cities and Towns only as acceptor of indications of the upper-Authorities (mainly Prefectures) and restrict the activities of Cities and Towns within the sphere of a vertically structured administration.It is seen the following Problems in the activities concerning the Life-Continuing Education of Cities and Towns that first they are not always clear about the Idea or the concept concerning the Life-Continuing Education, so that they can't make good plan for, that secondly their President (Mayer) order other leaders don't pay attention to the Policy concerning the Adult Continuing Education, that thirdly their activities divide into two styles or forms according to the Resident participation in Plan-making process order Implementation, one style is mainly Event-holding, another is considered in closely connection with the total development of their society, that fourthly their activities almost held by the Educational authorities alon without Co-operations and Participations of the President's Administration authorities or Organs.
