Under the Constitution of Japan, children must be considered as being the main focus of basic human rights, and they should be accorded security because of the existence of these constitutional rights. But children in our country have hitherto been dealt with as 'objects to be protected', in the same way that women and old people are protected under separate administrative procedures. Since this is 'the year of the child in the world.' this social problem must be reconsidered.
In this essay, I seek to analyze the legal phenomena of education as related to the actual condition of the life of children, using the sociology of law as the basis of my methodology. I use this approach, because it is my intention to investigate, in concrete terms, how the rights of children can be secured.
