Tóm tắt

Historically, Japanese junior colleges have served as preparatory institutions for young Japanese women pursuing marriage. Under influences of American higher education systems during the post-World War II era, Japanese junior colleges have successfully attracted eighteen-year-old females and provided them with a terminal liberal arts education. This article investigates briefly the history of Japanese postsecondary education systems prior to the educational reforms of 1945 and the post-war development of junior colleges. Based on the historical development of Japanese junior colleges, implications for women’s social status are examined. Recommendations are made for the future development of Japanese junior colleges and the academic and career advancement of Japanese women. © 2002 Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.
