Research Article

This research examines and compares two pioneering special entrance examination systems for foreign students in Kanagawa and Osaka prefectures of Japan. Specifically, it investigates three questions: (1)What are the backgrounds against which the systems are established and institutionalized? (2) What are the significant factors in the implementation of the set aside quotas? (3) What are the challenges facing the systems? We found that the two systems hold distinct characteristics in resources distribution. The Osaka system puts “native language and mother culture education” at the center of “special education”, and resources tend to accumulate in schools. We call it the “Acculumation type”. By comparison, the Kanagawa system uses the network of “multicultural education coordinators” to assign coordinators to schools. We call it the “network type”. We discuss that the main challenge for the Osaka system is that the formation and maintenance of school culture is mainly dependent on the teachers in charge, while the main challenge for the Kanagawa system is that it is difficult for schools to obtain practical knowledge of using the system.
