The purpose of this paper is to elucidate the process of establishing night junior high schools in Osaka Prefecture at the end of the 1960s, focusing on the night junior high school expansion movement and the discussions of the Osaka Prefectural Assembly and the city council. Since the end of World War II, there have been a large number of people who have not completed compulsory education, but it has not been revealed. From the viewpoint of "guaranteeing the right to learn as a basic human right", the Night Junior High School Establishment campaign appealed to society that those who have not completed compulsory education need night junior high school. The result was that a night class at Tennoji Junior High School in Osaka City ｗas opened in 1968. In the 1960s, the disputes at high schools that the Osaka Prefectural Board of Education was forced to deal with was the historical background that made this movement possible. Indeed, during that time, a screening of the movie"Night Junior High School Students" was held, and there was a social situation in which the faculty and staff union movement that supported this movement became active. In addition, the night junior high school under Osaka Prefecture was established as the logical result of a combination of multiple factors, such as the influence of the reformist party with political initiatives.
