This thesis traces the development of 1930s home education promotion policy and presents an analysis of the correlation between school education and home education. In December 1930, the Ministry of Education issued the 18th directive on "Matters Relating to the Promotion of Home Education." This directive established an administrative policy designed to improve the level of home education in relation to that of school education, where heretofore issues such as the prevention and resolution of children's mental problems were addressed through school education. In other words, this directive was an attempt to resolve an impasse in Japan's modern school education that arose through the Ministry of Education's overemphasis of school education to the exclusion of all else since the establishment of the educational system. In addition, the directive contained Ministry of Education criticism of the "trend toward entrusting school education" and also raised questions regarding the neglect of the role of home education and the consignment of everything to school education. On top of that, the directive also suggested the need to improve home education and position it as an important educational domain like that of school education. However, this directive was not consistently promoted. Despite the emphasis on home education, by the 1940s the role of home education changed, taking on a complementary and reinforcing role to school education's role of "rensei," or "training." Therefore, it can be assumed that the mid 1930s was the only time when the objective of the home education promotion directive was widely promoted through policy. In addition, previous research implies that prior to policy implementation, home education was merely positioned as "education" that complemented and reinforced school education designed to promote the stability and popularity of the modern school education system. In view of this background, the 1930 home education promotion directive can be regarded as having drastically altered the relative relationship of home education versus school education. In light of these issues, on the whole, 1930s home education promotion policy did not consistently adhere to the aims of the home education promotion directive. In the second half of the 1930s, the direction of "education reforms" became more prominent, enhancing home education. In spite of this, it is clear that home education was regulated to the point of subjugation, by school education, the primary training ground for imperial Japanese subjects.
