児童相談所一時保護所における学習権保障の問題

抄録

  The purpose of this paper is to consider how we guarantee the right to education in temporary shelters attached to child welfare centers. There, following children live together, juvenile delinquents, battered children, children whose parent(s) are in the hospital, disappeared, or arrested, and so forth. They are not allowed to go out from the shelter, and they cannot go to school. Therefore, they study in the shelter instructed by staffs there. Most of the staffs, however, do not have teacher's license. In the temporary shelter attached to Osaka Municipal Central Child Welfare Center, for example, children study in the morning using prints staffs prepared. They mainly study Japanese and mathematics.

  To guarantee the right to education in the temporary shelter, a staff with specialty as a teacher and instruction by a small number of staffs should be arranged. The possible methods are as follows. First, inviting one or some (former) teachers to the shelter whose task is to plan children's study and the teachers and the staffs together teach them. Second, if there are a small number of children, it must be effective to make a branch school in the shelter.

  We need further study how to guarantee the right to education in temporary shelters and reformatories from the point of view of pedagogy.
