Nakasone's dreams come partly true

The Fundamental Law of Education has been controversial since its conception and birth immediately following World War II. Under the terms of surrender in 1945, Japan transferred its sovereignty to the Supreme Commander of the Allied Powers (SCAP), General MacArthur's office, and its sovereignty was not restored until the San Francisco Peace Treaty came into effect in 1952, and it was during this period that the 1947 law was promulgated.

In 1997, on the 50th anniversary of the 1947 law, former prime minister Nakasone Yasuhiro (incumbency 1982-1987) called for its reform in an essay I have dubbed Japan as a "natural state". See also his 1997 discussion with Miyazawa Kiichi on Japan as a "practically monoethnic nation".

In this essay, Nakasone called both the 1947 education law, and the 1947 Constitution, "without nationality" (mukokuseki-teki-na) or "stateless" because they were promulgated under SCAP's direction. He began his critique of the education law with the observation that while it had the words "humanity, peace, freedom, and democracy" (jinrui, heiwa, jiyu, minshushugi), it did not have the words "state, ethnic nation, culture, history, and home" (kokka, minzoku, bunka, rekishi, katei).

Nakasone's linguistic appraisal was not entirely correct. The 1947 law did, in fact, refer to "state", "culture", and "home". It did not speak of "ethnic nation" or "history" -- but neither does the 2006 law. The new law does, however, mention "traditions" and more specifically addresses "culture" and "home".

Nakasone and Miyazawa were educated when the Imperial Rescript on Education was the moral law of the land. Both the 1947 and 2006 education laws are best understood after reflecting on the content and purpose of the rescript.

1890 Imperial Rescript on Education

The Meiji Restoration was an exercise in nation building. Creating a state overseen by a representative government with the tenno as sovereign, and guided by a constitution and body of laws, was the easy part. The more difficult part was nationalization of the people in claimed territories.

Nationalization and education

The more difficult and essential part of the effort to turn Meiji Japan into a nation was to nationalize people throughout the prefectures and other territories of the country. On a practical level, this meant training the next generations to speak and understand the same language, behave according to the same social norms, and acquire and utilize the same knowledge and technology. On a spirital level, nationalization meant inculcating pride in the same history and traditions, and belief in the tenno as the moral center of an ethnic nation for which nationals should want to live and be willing to die.

One of the most important instruments for achieving spiritual nationalization was the "Kyoiku Chokugo" (‹łˆç’şŒę) or "Imperial Rescript on Education". The rescript was issued on 30 October 1890, one month before the Meiji Constitution (promulgated 11 February 1889) came into effect (29 November 1890). The rescript was not formally nullified until 19 June 1948 -- over one year after the 1947 Fundamental Law of Education came into effect.

When the Imperial Rescript on Education was issued in 1890, the Minister of Education instructed teachers to expound on its principles before their students. Generations of students, including Nakasone and Miyazawa, had to memorize its 315 kanji and katakata graphs -- which, in the manner of all imperial edicts, were written without punctuation or voicing.

The purpose of the education rescript was twofold -- provide the nation with a uniform standard of moral education, and establish the emperor as the nation's moral authority.

The English translation is the official translation, first published by the Department of Education in 1907. A three-page Appendix in English, titled "A Note on the English Translation" and dated 1907, concludes with the following paragraph.

Although several English versions of the Rescript exist, they have been found deficient for conveying the exact sense of the original, of which a complete literal version into any other language is indeed a matter of great difficulty. Towards the end of last year, the Educational [sic] Department seeing the possibility of improving the translation convoked a number of scholars to discuss the matter. The accompanying version is the result. The scholars thus assembled considered their work by no means perfect, as the difficulty of rendering into a foreign language all the shades of meaning found in the text is almost insurmountable; yet we feel confident that it is a great improvement on all previous versions. We now distribute copies for the benefit of those foreigners who may wish to know the principle of our moral education.

1947 Fundamental Law of Education

When Hirohito's political authority collapsed in 1945, one of the first things targeted for overhaul by the Supreme Commander of the Allied Powers (SCAP) was national education. SCAP immediately banned the education rescript, and the Diet formally abolished it on 19 June 1948, over a year after the SCAP-inspired Fundamental Law of Education came into effect on 31 March 1947.

Some elements of the 1947 education law reflect the radical shift in status of people with Japanese nationality from "shumin" (subject) under the 1890 Constitution and the 1890 Imperial Rescript on Education -- to "kokumin" (national) under the 1947 Constitution. Other elements reflect the change in status of individuals and women under postwar family law, as embodied in the 1947 Constitution and in 1947 and later revisions of the Civil Code.

The Japanese text is a reformated version of a copy posted on the Ministry of Education website -- except that I have corrected •–§ŠúŠÔ to •–§ŒÚ–â (Sumitsu Komon, Privy Council) in the front matter.

English translation

The translation of the front matter, shown in purple, is mine. The translation of the main body of the law is a reformatted version of the text appearing in FY2005 White Paper on Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Chapter 1 (Promoting Educational Reform), Part 3 (How the Fundamental Law of Education Befitting to the New Times should be), on the MEXT website.

I have checked the MEXT version against other sources, including UNESCO. One early (contemporary) source is General Headquarters, SCAP, CIE, Education in the New Japan, Volume 2, Tokyo, 1948, pages 109-111.

Law No. 25, 31 March 1947

Enforced 31 March 1947

Date of enforcement

The 1947 Constitution, though promulgated 3 November 1946, did not come into effect until 3 May 1947 -- about a month later. Hence the 1890 Meiji Constitution was still in effect. The Diet was still the Imperial Diet. New laws, including the new Constitution, were still subject to sanctioniong and promulgation by the emperor.

2006 Fundamental Law of Education

The 1947 education law had been a bone of contention among the more conservative representatives of Japan's postwar government since SCAP had it introduced as a bill into the Imperial Diet. During the 1980s and 1990s, corresponding with the incumbency and influence of Nakasone Yasuhiro, old and new conservatives stepped up their blame of a number of social problems on the Americanization of postwar education, contending that emphasis on nuclear families and individuals had undermined the integrity of the extended family and larger community and otherwise weakened Japan socially.

A bill to revise the SCAP-inspired 1947 law was pushed through the Diet in 2006 after Abe Shinzo became prime minister and appointed Ibuki Bunmei as education minister. A bill was passed into law on 15 December that year, and the new law came into effect on 22 December.

Legal concern about new law

The new education law does not, on the surface, seem to threaten or otherwise undermine the principles of the old law. It retains most of the phrasing of the old law while adding and clarifying goals intended to help restore the nation's spiritual and social health -- and foster some degree of localization.

Some legalists fear the 2006 law gives education bureaucrats more authority to arbitrarily enforce whatever curriculum or practices they consider appropriate. Attention is drawn to differences in Article 10 in the 1947 law and the equivalent Article 16 in the 2006 law.

Article 16 begins, verbatim, with the phrasing of Articles 10, which stipulates that "Education shall not be subject to improper control." Whereas the 1947 law then provides that "[education] shall be directly responsible to the whole people" (standard translation), the 2006 law then provides that "[education] shall be conducted in accordance with this and other laws, and education administration must be carried out impartially and reasonably under appropriate division of roles and mutual cooperation between the state [country] and local public bodies" (my translation).

The will of the people

So the new education law continues to tether schools to the rule of law as distinct from administrative guidance. On top of this, it also now permits more localization of education administration.

The real problem with the new law is less its content and more the will of the people. The question only time will answer is whether Japan's sovereign nationals, and their elected representatives, will support education bureaucrats, nationally and locally, who may now attempt to promote blind patriotism, suppression of free thought, and oppression of religions and ethnic minorities in schools.
