This study takes account of the Consumer Education Promotion Council’s approach and examines the progress of the Consumer Affairs Center’s (CAC) promotion of consumer education in schools from the 2009 establishment of the Consumer Affairs Agency to present and measures taken to address these challenges. Two surveys show that even the most common classes conducted by the CAC were inadequate. As the Council has consistently stated, the crucial factor in promoting consumer education in schools is CAC support in improving the teaching skills of teachers. As for measures, there are promising prospects for the development of consumer education consultation systems, expanding the placement of current teachers at CACs through personnel exchanges, and prefectural support for municipalities on consumer education.
