タイトル The Issues of High School Financial Education in Japan with Refernce to Overseas
内容 Financial education has become increasingly common across much of the globe. In 2012, the OECD added a financial section to their PISA exam, launching an international discussion on the merits of financial literacy. Moreover, in Japan, troubles with financial products have become widespread. In response to these developments, the Central Council for Financial Services Information has introduced financial education subjects, such as civics and home economics into classrooms across Japan. In this thesis, financial education is defined as “thinking about life and society through money.” It focuses on financial education in high school, looking in particular at the examples of the United States, which is a nation with a history of financial education, and Australia, which only recently began to focus on financial education. This thesis then describes the issue of financial education in Japan, comparing it to the United States and Australia. It concludes that financial education in Japan does not include a field of investment, which is growing in importance. In addition, while financial literacy in Japanese high schools must improve, there is a shortage of teachers who have technical skills and knowledge to effectively teach the subject.
講評 This is the first year for our department to have a “Globalization and Education” seminar. The seminar has covered a broad range of topics from multiple perspectives, and this is reflected in the tremendous diversity of graduation thesis topics. In addition, all students wrote their theses in the language of globalization, English. Despite this challenge, they produced a well-researched and well-written collection of papers that addresses the impact of globalization on education from various angles using a wide variety of sources. Congratulations to all of you!
