Abstract
The Act on the Organization and Operatin of Local Educational Administration, which was enacted in 1956, was revised drastically, but the reorganization of the system is stil halfway through. The initiative taken by politicians actualized by role-sharing and cooperation between politics and administration is the background of MEXT's new policy deliberation community and enrichment of policy formation process by delibrations based on evidence. To deepen discussion of what governance of education should be, we have to think from three zones and discuss the "proper educational administration size" which governance reaches. For the new educational governance, way to introduce "community-solution", must be considered, and the best mix solution of the problems of "government-solution", "market-solution" and "community-solution" is necessary. By referring to the author's proposal of community-school's idea at the time when he's an associate professor of Keio SFC and the budget's negotiation process and the public opinion's molding process when he was a Senior Vice-Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, the author will propose an idea of educational administration system reform by cooperation between academia, the scene of education, government officials, media and politicians from a new point of view.
