(Continuation from yesterday)

Over the last couple of days I came up with "Trigonometric Function Necessity Theory" and developed various kinds of opinions. Before long, I would like to start the final chapter soon.

I have studied that when and how

"education that can thought of as being directly useless in daily life"

has started.

This is because the government of the Meiji Restoration took action, "mass production" of human resources for (1)encouragement of new industry, and (2)universal conscription.

Simply speaking, the current education curriculum is based on

"Manual-type encouragement process to mass-produce "high-efficiency workers" or "military personnel of adaptable fighting potential" at low cost"

(It is the same in direction as McDonald's part-time customer service manual)

In fact, looking at the educational content of the Navy and the Army Military Academy before World War II, they are almost same as present education curriculum.

This is the content.

Masters, Japanese language and old Chinese language (national language, Chinese language, composition), Foreign languages (choose one from English, French, German, Russian and Chinese), History (Japanese history / Western history), Mathematics (triangulation, geometry, geometry and calculus, algebra and calculus), Physics, Chemistry, Geography and geology, Psychology and logic, Legislation and economy, Drawing.

In education hours, Especially the total of foreign languages totaled 402 frames (one frame 50 minutes), mathematics total 318 frames, A total of 269 frames of national language and Chinese culture, Physics is 167 frames, Chemistry is 100 frames,

(Of course, soldiers, shooting, swordsmanship, gymnastics, judo, equestrianism, field practice, swimming exercises are also added)

This is a human resource development curriculum for making elites as a lead of the army, guide the war between nations to victory, in order to gain the greatest diplomatic effect.

This elite education curriculum is diverted almost entirely to the present educational process for many students, who

are not elites

have no ambition of a lifetime,

have no consciousness of the national leader

Well, it is natural that many people said that (there are different various opinions, though) "Education in Japan is at the world's highest level".

Most of us Japanese are forced to compel "super" elite education with ignoring student's qualities (ability and talent).

It is natural that some million people "fall out" or "become a hikikomori" in this unreasonable elite education process. To tell you the truth, I even think that the number is "small".

However, it is true that this unreasonable elite education can make Japan one of the world's leading economic powers. (Now even, it continues to fall down)

This is because Japanese people have been educated for not only excellent "military person" but also highly efficient "production equipment".
