“Geographic viewpoint and World regional image” formed at the elementary school age, influences world recognition and regional image throughout the lifetime. In this report, the role of such geography education was considered and especially focused on the description which was related to Africa. The auther examined social study textbooks of elementary school 6 grade bottom volumes used at April 2004 (old issues) and 2005 (new issues) in Japan. There is no elementary textbook described about the countries in Africa.<br>In old issues, the photograph which is related to the Africa appears in 5 textbooks exists even in the sum total only 19 sheets. Moreover 14 sheets have shown negative side such as “people suffer from the hunger”, “people wait for the food supply”, “refugee”, “riot”, and “desertification” in the inside. Even in new issues, also has almost same contents.<br>The auther is afraid of that the only “misery image” of Africa was exaggerated. And it has been formed to children whom study in these textbooks.<br>Fukuzawa Yukichi (1834-1901) wrote “Sekaikunizukushi” in 1869. In this book he ranked in the cross culture region and it enlightened the world view which did look down region except for Europe and USA. His viewpoint in those days was “the imitation of world view of Europeans”. So it was not only problem of himself but Europeans.<br>However, world recognition formation which today's Japanese people are responsibility of the geography education of Japan. In spite of these situations, the contents of World Geography have decreased in recent Social Studies textbooks. It's not good for students have no chance to study about Third World Countries.<br>The auther therefore hopes for comeback of World Geography, especially Third World regions in elementary school textbooks, including a Development Education point of view.
