This chapter examines the characteristics of Japanese school management from a children’s rights-perspective, focusing on children’s rights to express their views. While Japan ratified the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the Japanese government, as well as Japanese schools, have not taken a proactive stance in guaranteeing children’s rights. Japanese school-education system has been largely adult-driven and thus marginalized student voices. Meanwhile, in recent years, there have been policy trends leading to the promotion of the guarantee of children’s rights, such as the revision of the national guidelines on student guidance and the passage of the Basic Act on Children’s Policy. In addition, a grassroots movement calling for school regulations to be reviewed through student participation and dialogue between students and teachers has been spreading over the past few years. A case study suggests that such a practice would increase students’ sense of efficacy and enhance trust between students and teachers. However, it should also be noted that such efforts may often fail to fully guarantee children’s right to express their views due to the power relationship between adults and children.
