The purpose of this paper is to examine the definition of "Seiji Kyouiku". Generally, "Seiji Kyouiku" has been discussed mainly relation to the formation of Fundamental Law of Education Article VIII "Political Education". However, this paper discusses the process of formation of the idea of "Seiji Kyouiku" between the period of the 1920s and the Postwar Educational Reform, considering that the Post Educational Reform was related to the prewar Theory on Education and that the word "Seiji Kyoiku" could be seen in the document from the Prewar time. Through the analysis, I got four important finds. First, the idea of "Seiji Kyouiku", which had been spread over the universal suffrage in the 1920s, was mentioned mainly in relation to the election enlightenment in the 1930s. Second, after the latter half of the 1930s, the meaning of "Seiji Kyouiku" had been changed and the word had rarely been used because of the reconstruction of the notion of "Komin" and the broad extent of the criticism for the theory of the Emperor as an organ of government. Third, although the word "Seiji Kyouiku" could be used again after the Post Educational Reform, the meaning of the word had been argued from the point of the relationship with "Komin Kyouiku". Finally, the definition of "Seiji Kyouiku" is different between Pedagogy and Politics. That is, while cultivating people's political mind is valued in Pedagogy, maintaining the stable political system is made much of emphasized in Politics.
