项目摘要

The three-year study revealed the situations and the issues of migrant children in Japan relevant to their school attendance. While the number of migrant children who are enrolled in elementary and secondary public schools is approximately 40,000, it covers only 60% of the migrant children of Japanese compulsory school ages. Although 5% of them may well attend private schools, for example ethnic schools or international schools, or return to their home countries the study discovered that the rest of them miss an opportunity for education. The possible reasons for the situation are the followings;(1)Japanese compulsory education is not applied to migrant children as foreigners.(2)Their parents move in Japan in order to find a job.(3)As many of their parents keep a Dekasegi mentality and devote most of their time to their jobs, they are not likely to pay much attention to their children's education.(4)Japanese literacy is a serious cultural barrier to migrant children's academic achievem … More ent.(5)A lack of multicultural point of views in Japanese school education hinders migrant children's academic achievement.Because of these reasons, some migrant parents decide to send their children to ethnic schools such as Brazilian or Peruvian. The study determined, however, that the decision is not reasonable while taking into consideration; low education quality of the schools, expensive tuition and a lack of education for adaptation to Japanese society while migrant children tend to continue to stay longer in Japan. Accordingly the study identified the following ways to improve the situation of migrant children's education.(1)Local education boards and Japanese schools track the school attendance of migrant children and arrange social workers who encourage migrant children and their families to participate schools.(2)Local education boards and Japanese schools provide migrant parents with accurate information and advice in order to raise awareness about their children's education.(3)Local education boards set up pre-schools where migrant children obtain Japanese literacy before being enrolled in Japanese schools.(4)Local education boards and Japanese schools revise their curriculum from a multicultural point of views, arrange the system for migrant children to keep their mother languages and inculcate a sense of respect for cultural difference to Japanese children.(5)Local education boards and Japanese schools enhance partnership with local volunteer groups which support migrant children's academic achievement.

这项为期三年的研究揭示了日本流动儿童的入学状况和问题。虽然在公立小学和中学就读的流动儿童人数约为 4 万人，但仅覆盖了流动儿童的 60%。尽管其中 5% 的人很可能就读私立学校，例如民族学校或国际学校，或返回祖国，但研究发现，其余人错过了受教育的机会。情况是(1)作为外国人的流动儿童不适用日本的义务教育。(2)他们的父母为了找工作而移居日本。(3)由于他们的父母很多都保持着“出关”心态并投入了大部分时间由于工作原因，他们不太可能关注孩子的教育。(4)日语读写能力是移民子女取得学业成就的严重文化障碍。(5)日本学校缺乏多元文化观点由于这些原因，一些移民父母决定将孩子送到巴西或秘鲁等民族学校，但考虑到教育质量较低，这一决定并不合理；学校、昂贵的学费以及缺乏适应日本社会的教育，而移徙儿童往往会在日本停留更长时间。因此，本研究确定了以下改善移徙儿童教育状况的方法。(1)地方教育委员会和日本学校追踪流动儿童的入学情况社会工作者鼓励流动儿童及其家庭参加学校。(2)地方教育委员会和日本学校向流动父母提供准确的信息和建议，以提高他们对孩子教育的认识。(3)地方教育委员会安排设立预办学校- 流动儿童在进入日本学校之前先获得日语识字的学校。（4）当地教育委员会和日本学校从多元文化的角度修改课程，为流动儿童保留母语并灌输一种意识的制度尊重日本人的文化差异(5)当地教育委员会和日本学校加强与当地志愿者团体的合作，支持流动儿童的学业成绩。
