A Study on the reform of local educational administration system under the reform of decentralization

在这个项目中，我通过实地考察和问卷调查的方式对地方教育委员会的负责人进行调查，研究了地方政府在分权改革下的教育政策的进步和变化。研究表明：(1)地方教育局的教育政策存在差异和多样性。(2)地方教育委员会试图实施进步政策，是由于州长在市政公司的领导。(3)地方分权改革和相关法律的修改改变了地方政府在决策过程和教育政策过程中行为主体的行为。在此基础上，笔者试图探讨战后日本教育行政体制的结构和教育政策的过程。笔者将上述研究发展为一种新制度主义理论和网络理论，以适应战后日本教育行政体制和教育政策过程的研究。

In this project, I researched into progress and change of the educational policies in local governments under the reform of decentralization by the field-works and questionnaire-investigation to the superintendents in local board of education.The research made it clear that :(1) there were differential and variety of the educational policies among local board of educations.(2) local board of educations which tried to implement progressive policies were due to leadership of governor in municipal corporations.(3) the reform of decentralization and modification of the related laws changed action of actors in process of decision-making and process of educational policies in local governments.Based on the above, I will try to investigate into the structure of the educational administration system and the process of educational policy in post-war Japan. I will develop the above research into a new theory of new institutionalism and theory of networks adapted to study on the educational administration system and process of educational policy in post-war Japan.
