Profile
Higher standards for teachers have come to be expected today in Japanese society. As educators, teachers should have not only a through understanding of the growth and development of human beings but also sufficient knowledge, ideas, background, methods and techniques to teach effectively.

Naruto University of Education was established on October 1, 1981 by the Japanese government to respond with a new approach to such social demands. The university is a new kind of "university for teachers" in that it is designed to retrain teachers from nation-wide schools through advanced course work and research in graduate programs as well as to train elementary and secondary school teachers in undergraduate programs.

About two thirds of the graduate-school capacity is allotted to applicants who have three or more years of experience as elementary or secondary school teachers.

The object of the undergraduate programs (College of Education) is to produce elementary or secondary school teachers who are well qualified for teaching in all areas and subjects on the basis of a comprehensive understanding of growth and development of children.
