　　This paper examines educational policies and challenges for poverty alleviation of children, focusing on Osaka prefecture and Osaka city, especially focusing on childrenʼs and familiesʼdifficulties relating to high school entrance. 　　In Osaka Prefecture and Osaka City, various projects such as supplementary tuition fee assistance to private high school students and assistance for private school fees have been implemented. Meanwhile, in Osaka Prefecture and Osaka City, competitionist school reforms have been carried out. For example, reforms such as consolidation of public high schools, implementation of a‘challenge testʼ, and disclosure of information on junior high school attendance to high schools. 　　As a matter of course, if you try to deal with childrenʼs poverty under a competitive school reform, each family or child will be asked for it. Anxiety about the future and a decline in motivation to learn appearing in children and families in the difficult life layer of Osaka need to be considered as a result of such school reform and childrenʼs poverty alleviation.
