The purpose of this study is to consider new perspectives on education management corresponding to a school's diversification of staff. The following three issues are discussed here: 1) Reasons for increased scholarly interest in such diversification based on the point of view of school workforces and research results from the 1960s through 1970s, 2) Reasons for renewed scholarly interest based on the point of view of school workforces and research results after the 1990s, and 3) School staff diversification in foreign countries and England's Workforce Reform. 1) In the first section, we clarified that the rise in the number of full-time support staff and support staff-teaching staff ratios led to increased interest in diversification based on the point of view of school workforces. Additionally, the most important research results of the period from the 1960s through 1970s were that support staff could improve the quality of education by cooperating with teaching staff. 2) In the next section, we clarified that the diversification of the school workforce advanced after the 1990s. Diversity management emerged as a solution to the problems caused by this increase in diversity. 3) In the final section, we discuss the advancement of school workforce diversification in foreign countries after the 1990s and England's Workforce Reform, which worked toward both staff diversification and improvement of their efficiency.
