The Present State of Economic Education in Japan
Yamaoka, Michio; Asano, Tadayoshi; Abe, Shintaro
Journal of Economic Education, v41 n4 p448-460 2010
The authors describe the present state of economic education in Japan. There is a larger number of undergraduate students who major in economics, but their purpose of studying economics and their economic literacy differ. Precollege economic education is regulated by the course of study and limited by the poor ability of teachers to teach the economics content. (Contains 4 tables and 7 notes.)
