(2)In-service Training for Teachers

Considerable emphasis has been placed on in-service training for teachers, as well as on. the upgrading of qualification requirements and teacher training programs. To provide facilities for in-service training, prefectural science education centers have been set up around the country since 1960 and prefectural educational training centers which encompass all teaching areas, including science education, have been built since 1965, both with financial assistance from the national government. The teachers themselves have also organized voluntary study groups and training programs around specific subjects since the later1950's. To encourage voluntary activities of this nature, the government has provided financial assistance for these programssince 1960.

The National Education Center was established in June, 1964, as a national center for educators. By 1970, more than 10,000 groups had used the facilities of this Center for training and study purposes. Lectures on educational theory, methods, and applications across the educational spectrum are sponsored regularly by the Ministry of Education or prefectural boards of education, as well as orientation lectures each time there is are vision of the curricula.
