抄録

Since pupils with Gender Identity Disorder often have needs for special support in school life, there are demands for schools to cope with individual cases considering the feelings of pupils and their guardians. It is also necessary to arrange a school environment to enable pupils to ask for advice with peace of mind, and to improve the counseling system. 　　The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) is conducting various measures relating to such pupils. For example, in 2014, “Survey on Measures Taken in Schools for Gender Identity Disorder”was conducted by the MEXT. In 2015, a notification“On the Realization of Carefully Crafted Measures for Pupils with Gender Identity Disorder”was also submitted. Moreover, in 2016, a reference material for teachers“On the Realization of Carefully Crafted Measures for Pupils Concerning Gender Identity Disorder, Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity”was made. 　　This paper explains the outline of such recent measures taken by the MEXT.
