The purpose of this report is to inquire the changing aspect of the role the secondary vocational school plays in ceramic produciny district, in relation to the technical development and economic circumstances in the district. This trial aims to quest how the secondary vocational school has been efficacious in the industrialization of the pottery or ceramic industy which has been inherited from the pre-modern stage of this country.
Through the intensive interviewing survey the following results were obtained.
1) At the first stage of the establishment of the school, when the producing techniques were not mature enough to meet the increasing demand for the products from trading wholesalers, the school played an important part in the improvement of the production facilities.
2) As the trading whalesalers outside the district began to produce on a large scale and developed adequate equipment for mass production, most graduates of the school remained in their home district and maintained their inherited occupation.
3) Medium sized factories, which appeared in and around the district, provided the main labor market for the considerable numbers of the gra-duates, who worked as technicians.
Recently, in proportion to the increasing number of studlnts from the parental background other than the ceramic shop owners, many graduates tend to go out of the district in search for their suitable job. outside of their home district.
