In this thesis, some important points will be clarified about what the disclosure of information on school education means to teachers. While social authority on the part of schools and teachers is decreasing, the system of disclosure of information has the following positive significance: (1) Education exists on the basis of mutual trust among teachers, students and parents. The system of disclosure of information plays a very important role in forming mutual trust among the three parties. (2) Education is, so to speak, an exchange of information among teachers, students and parents. If the information is not given to or taken by either of the three parties, there occurs stagnation in education. Therefore the system of disclosure of information promotes exchange of information on school education. (3) Teachers have a duty not to make public information about the students and parents. Moreover teachers have to restrain themselves from subjective judgements about such information. (4) As the concept of "informed consent" in medical science makes much of self-determination, so does school education have to place high importance on independent learning by students. In order to do so, information should be shared among teachers, students and parents. Teachers should also assist students in self-directed learning. (5) "The Convention on the Rights of the Child" makes teachers change and reform their own understanding of education. The Convention especially makes teachers very strongly recognize that students have a right. Therefore it is necessary that information on school education, in principle, should be disclosed. Through the disclosure of information, students are guaranteed to be able to do their own independent learning. If teachers place their importance on the system of disclosure and the Convention and carry out their duties, then the time is expected to come when the new specialties and authority of teachers are acknowledged.
