Korekara No Nippon, Korekara No Kyoiku (Chiku Ma Shinsho)

[Machine Translation] The mission of education is to support each individual's ability to live. With this in mind, two bureaucrats of the Ministry of Education have been promoting reforms so that any person can learn anywhere, anytime. The Kakei Gakuen issue arose as restored nationalism and a market-oriented approach that leaves the weak and the strong in the dust gained momentum. We will reexamine this issue and discuss in depth a series of reforms, including lifelong learning, "yutori" education, free high school, and evening junior high school. This is a book of hope for the future of Japan and education.

一人ひとりの生きる力をサポートするのが教育の使命。その思いのもと、どんな人でも、いつでもどこでも学べるよう改革を進めてきた二人の文部官僚。復古的なナショナリズムと、弱肉強食を放置する市場主義が勢いを増すなかで、加計学園の問題は起きた。この問題を再検証し、生涯学習やゆとり教育、高校無償化、夜間中学など一連の改革をめぐって、とことん語り合う。これからの日本、これからの教育を展望する希望の書である。
