At the same time, it was frequently criticized for failing to cultivate 'individuality' and 'creativity' in students. Wide-ranging education reforms were enacted during the 1990s to remedy these perceived failings. However, as this book argues, the reforms produced a different outcome than intended, contributing to growing disparity in learning motivation and educational aspiration of students from different class backgrounds instead.Takehiko Kariya demonstrates by Routledge/University of Tokyo SeriesEducationJapanEducational changeJapanEducationSocial aspectsJapanEducationJapanHistoryJapanSocial conditionsEducationEducational changeEducationSocial aspectsEducationHistory.370.951POL000000bisacshKariya Takehiko1955-,1682567Burtscher Michael1682568MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910823771503321Education reform and social class in Japan4052782UNINA
