The Central Council for Education (Japanese: 中央教育審議会, Chuo Kyoiku Shingikai or Japanese: 中教審, Chukyoshin) is a permanent advisory council in the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology in Japan.
[1]: 7 It was formed as a successor to the Educational Reform Council [ja], a post-war educational council,[2] which proposed the formation of the CCE in November 1951.
After the CCE helped deal with the disturbances in 1969, they began to produce "basic guidelines" for reform in 1971.
However, the CCE did help in passing certain smaller reforms such as higher wages for teachers.
The Minister of Education asked the CCE to consider "{1} measures to promote community service activities and experiential activities of youth; {2} the future of the educational personnel certificate system; {3} measures to promote the reform of higher education; and {4} comprehensive measures for the building of stamina in children.
