The plaintiff lost the case in which a graduate of a Korean school in Kyushu sought a correction, saying that it was illegal for the Japanese government to exclude the Korean school from the scope of free education. Losing in Fukuoka (Kyushu) after Tokyo, Nagoya (Aichi prefecture), Osaka and Hiroshima, the five places that filed lawsuits against Korean school discrimination lost in the appeals court.
According to a report by Kyodo News, on the 30th, the Fukuoka High Court stated that 68 graduates of Kyushu Korean Junior and Senior High School would cancel the provision that excluded the Korean school from the goal of free high school and compensate damages for some 7.5 million yen. In the lawsuit he was making, he decided to lose the plaintiff. The court ruled that it was “the realm of national discretion.”
The cases in Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka were disputed up to the Supreme Court, but the plaintiff was defeated. Hiroshima appealed after losing the appeal on the 16th of this month, and the Kyushu Korean School is expected to appeal, but both are unlikely to win.
Japan started free secondary education measures in 2010 when the government of the Democratic Party of Japan paid tuition fees, but the application of Korean schools was suspended due to the North Korean problem, and it was the goal in 2013 when the administration was superseded by the PLD. It was completely excluded from. The Korean school side has argued that the Japanese government is discriminating against Korean society in Japan on political grounds. The United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination and the Committee on the Rights of the Child also said: “We must ensure that students can enjoy the same educational opportunities without discrimination,” and told the Japanese government in several occasions that Korean schools and high schools were free. While recommending correction of the above exclusion policy, it has not been improved.
