Article title

[edit]

I can't figure out who has moved this article, but please know that the article title doesn't need (Japan) suffix. I don't think there is a minister of the exactly same name anywhere but in Japan. -- Taku 01:31, Dec 26, 2004 (UTC)

Sorry, that was me. We might as well have a decent discussion about this issue, as it's an issue of cross-wikipedia import. Care to have a look at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (government departments and ministers)? -- The Tom 04:29, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)

MEXT stands for?

[edit]

My understanding is MEXT for MECST-->MEXT, does it correct ? (Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology) --manop 17:47, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

this could be because

[edit]

"This could be because the nursery-schools, which are almost all privately owned, prepare the children to be good students and help them learn to function well in groups and to learn discipline like staying in line."

This is a very subjective statement, which without balance could constitute bias.

Objectively speaking, this statement should be removed. It is unsubstantiated, and barely relevent to the title.

Subjectively speaking, Japanese parents choose nursery schools and later cram schools in order that their children learn those skills which are not taught at school. In my experience, discipline and social skills are taught at schools to the depriment of academic skills. Parents push their children into private institutions to a)learn academic skills, and b)practice test papers to get into academic institutes.

As for the present discussion about the title, I agree with the inclusion of "Japan." Without it, the institute would be very difficult to place. It is a national institute. Being Japanese is fundamental to the ministry. For comparison, the Sphinx would be the Sphinx even were it on the moon; and Abe Lincoln would be Abe Lincoln even if he had built the Sphinx. However, The Ministy of Education is meaningless without its jurisdiction. Moleinjapan 05:14, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Irrelevant Material

[edit]

I deleted the section about pre-schools which have no relation to MEXT.

I also agree that despite the uniqueness of MEXT's title, the inclusion of Japan is necessary for the sake of clarity for non-specialists.

I've updated the info on the current minister of ed. in Abe's cabinet. In so doing, I deleted the previous minister's name. Is that information that should remain?

This article could use some more history, a section on education reforms implemented by MEXT, a section on MEXT's current aggressive steps to re-habilitate the Hinomaru flag and Kimigayo anthem, and perhaps a section on relations with the Japan Teachers Union. --DonaldoKun 12:04, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What the fuck redirect?

[edit]

I don't want to read a bloody article about the modern successor to the Monbusho if I'm searching for the bloody Monbusho. If I wanted to read about MEXT, I'd search for MEXT. This article has nothing whatsoever about the Monbusho beyond saying "is now MEXT." Not even it's English name! I'm trying to find historical goddamned information and some sperger has decided I'm not allowed to.--115.30.68.139 (talk) 12:53, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
