- catalog abstract ""Education in Contemporary Japan examines the main developments of modern schooling in Japan, from the beginning of the Meiji era up to the present, and includes analysis of the most recent reforms.

This insightful and provocative study of the issues of social inequality and the scope for autonomy within the Japanese education system will be essential reading for students and educators alike."--Jacket.".
