抄録	The Buraku issue is a problem of human rights violations in Japan against people who are from, live in, or are related to the community where were prejudiced as contaminated and polluted. The term "Dowa schools" refers to schools that provide human rights education on the Buraku issue. The aim of this paper is to clarify the current state and challenges of education today based on the case study of an former Dowa school to make academic recommendations for contemporary Dowa education research, referred to as “the redefi nition of the Buraku issue.” to this end. The findings are as follows: X Elementary focuses on providing continuous support to students’ academic performance to ensure career paths for the children. Furthermore, initiatives of systematic human rights learning rooted in the local area have been passed down as a core resource of Dowa education even after the end of the Dowa Measures Act, contributing to the maintenance of a high level of academic support provided for students, regardless of their backgrounds. However, the age composition of the teaching occupation is currently undergoing a transition, and this shift brings challenges to the continuation of such initiatives. Moreover, with increased local destabilization associated with fluidization of community, worsening economic conditions, and decreased government support for community collaborations, I observed diffi culties in continuing these practices, exacerbated by teachers’ busier schedules. What we learn from this case of a “former Dowa school” is the reality of the school’s diffi culties as it explores ways to continue eff ective practices established for marginalized students with limited support, especially with widening social inequalities in Japan and the destabilization of former Dowa districts since the Dowa Measures Act lapsed.
