In this paper, focus is put on school teachers (general teacher and administrator). First study is made of what competence is desired on the current conditions of teachers (such as unbalanced age structure).
Secondly, while suggestion is given by examples of posting school principals from non-educational fields about competence required on school administrators, examination is made on how this competence should be improved, based on features of pre-posting training at the board of education and school examples of principals posted from non-educational fields.
Thirdly, standing on pre-condition that the partnership between university and the board of education is unavoidable as means of raising and improving of teacher’s competence, roles to be played by these schools should be studied. Fourthly, especially as the higher standardization of competency of administrators in schools, future possibility of school principals in Japan is examined, while checking roles to be played by post-graduate schools in the U.S.A.
As for roles to be played by university toward the improvement of teacher’s competence, there is, in general, in-service training fields, etc., a gradual development of cooperation between university and the board of education toward the improvement of competence in school leaders in this case, minding problems of cooperation, for example, merit or demerit disclosed in training American management staff. It will become necessary to employ career-staff in various fields at universities.
Employment with limited terms is also effective in terms of the activation of employment methods. There is room to check teaching methods, corresponding trainees’ needs, under partnerships with plural universities according to each strategic area.
Nation-wide support is the lesson, in order to link the administrator training system at graduate school with the qualification system.
