Restructuring Japanese High Schools: Reforms for Diversity.
Shimahara, Nobuo K.
Educational Policy, v9 n2 p185-200 Jun 1995
A critical problem in Japanese high school education is lack of fit between uniform curriculum and students' heterogeneous interests and abilities. This article explores policy initiatives to restructure and diversify high school education. Innovative high schools with "comprehensive" programs are emerging at a time when U.S. schools are promoting national academic standards. (30 references) (MLH)
