Description

We discuss in this paper what is necessary to restructure the liberal education at university. First we study the history of liberal education (general education) in America which affected the liberal education in Japan since 1945. Then we consider political trends after 1991 in the reports of the Central Council for Education. On this data we make clear the problems and confusion involved in the liberal education in Japan. We conclude that in the more flexible educational systems and in the more secured universities’ autonomy we should make the admission-, curriculum- and diploma policy of each department even clearer, and then the member of department should share the policies in common. A system to discuss the policies and realize it needs to be established.
