• ISSUES CONCERNING THE CENTRALIZED PERSONNEL APPOINTMENT SYSTEM OF THE CHIEF OF THE "TEACHER CONSULTANT OFFICE" AT LOCAL SCHOOL BOARDS IN TOKYO UNDER DE-CENTRALIZATION(II. RESEARCH REPORTS)

抄録

New educational reforms have been launched under the policy of de-centralization in Japan from the 1990's. Many local school boards have started unique local school policies and thus need more local-oriented educational professionals than before. A conflict has arisen between the centralized teacher personnel appointment system and the de-centralized educational system, especially concerning the appointment system of the chief of consultant office at local school boards. The position of chief of "teacher consultant office" in Tokyo is one of the key positions in the centralized teacher personnel appointment system, yet few researchers could approach them because it has baeen difficult to collect data. For this paper, I collected data on personnel changes from lists of names from 1955 to 1991. This paper, thus presents research on the process of the organization of a "teacher consultant office" in Tokyo, especially the appointment system of the chief of the consultant office. I would like to argue the following points : 1. According to the expansion of schools, "'an advisory system" has also expanded at the level of local school administration. Every year a large number of teachers and teacher consultants change in position from one school board office to another. The establishment of an advisory system at the local educational administration level means that there has been a replacement of municipal government officials by school professionals and that municipal educational systems are now linked to the educational systems of metropolitan areas. This also means that the changes in personnel cycles have become shorter and more broadly-based. 2. It is clear that the members of school boards have an appointive power for the staff of their office through the recommendations of the superintendent, but the actual process of decision-making of personnel affairs is complicated and not at all transparent in contrast with the lucid explanation required by the law. It is hard to explain who actually governs school personnel affairs. Although it is hard to collect data on personnel policy-making processes, this will be needed to research more deeply the discretion of educational administrators in the teacher appointment system. 3. When we reform an educational system and make it more de-centralized, one of the points is the autonomous ability of a local school board. The position of the chief of the "teacher consultant office" will then become more important. We now need to reconsider the appointment system of the chief of the "teacher consultant office". A simpler decision-making system will be needed as authority shifts not only from school professionals but also in terms of more democratic educational politics.
