Educational reform in occupied Japan

Educational reform in occupied Japan (August 1945 – April 1952) encompassed changes in philosophy and goals of education; the nature of the student-teacher relationship; coeducation; the structure of the compulsory education system; textbook content and the procurement system; personnel at the Ministry of Education (MEXT); kanji script reform; and establishment of a university in every prefecture. The reforms were directed by the Education Division (Joseph C. Trainor) of the Civil Information and Education Section (CIE; Kermit R. Dyke, followed by Donald M. Nugent) of the Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers (SCAP, in Japanese: "GHQ").
