Berman, David M.
Theory and Research in Social Education, v18 n4 p387-404 Fall 1990
Examines the role of the Japanese prefecture (a regional government unit analogous to U.S. states) in school administration through a case study of the Chiba prefectural board of education's role in administering the high school entrance examination. Finds that the examination stratifies students into an educational hierarchy. (NL)
