| Abstract |
This study focuses on the review of discussions surrounding school enrollments under the Movement to Improve Social Customs, and the connection and relationship between the Educational Incentives Prog...rams and the Movement itself. Under this Movement, children were enrolled in schools on a mandatory basis, if necessary, with the objective of improving the social customs of Okinawa. The reasons for this were because schools were considered to be key educational establishments that supported the assimilation of Okinawa to Japan, and the attempt to improve the customs of Okinawa was conducted through academic education provided at these schools. Thus, a cooperative relationship between schools and communities formed, as significant weight of importance was placed for the village as a whole to encourage enrollment into schools. The leading groups or organizations that actually led the Movement were the educational research association that was established within the village, or the youth group and the women's association of the community. Later, issues were raised surrounding the need for organizations relating to the enrollment of children into schools, and that led to the establishment of the Educational Incentives Program. The Programs were formed with the village residents as the main constituents, and functioned as the educational organization of the community, where children were encouraged to compete for high attendance rates and given awards for their achievements. The Movement to Improve Social Customs may have caused the gathering of momentum to focus the interests of the prefecture's citizens toward a modern educational system, but essentially, it was the Educational Incentives Program that encouraged school enrollments and supported the scholastic developments.show more
