Chōsen gakkō ((日本語:朝鮮学校) ''Chōsen gakkō''; (朝鮮語:조선학교)) is school located in Japan that teaches Koreans in Japan by Chongryon. It sponsored by North Korea and Chongryon. Chōsen gakkō is the most popular foreign school for Koreans in Japan, although it is not acknowledged as a regular school. A Korean school sponsored by South Korea and operated by Mindan has fewer students but is so acknowledged. As of 2013 there were 73 North Korean grade schools and ten North Korean high schools in Japan.〔Talmadge, Eric. "(Japan turns up pressure on pro-Pyongyang schools )" ((Archive )).

"(Japan's Korean schools being squeezed by rising tensions with Pyongyang )" ((Archive )) ''The Guardian''. Monday 15 November 2014. Retrieved on 12 April 2015.〕 As of 2013 the North Korea-aligned schools had almost 9,000 ethnic Korean students.〔 There is also a North Korea-aligned university in Japan, Korea University.〔 ==History== The schools were established by Koreans who were brought to Japan against their will during the pre-World War II period and during the war. Historically the North Korean government and the Chongryon provided funding for the North Korean schools in Japan. Justin McCurry of ''The Guardian'' stated that politically conservative Japanese people opposed the schools because since they believed that "a group that blatantly proclaims its loyalty to an unfriendly regime" should not receive the same treatment as the traditional Japanese education system.〔McCurry, Justin. "(Japan's Korean schools being squeezed by rising tensions with Pyongyang )" ((Archive )) ''The Guardian''. Monday 15 November 2014. Retrieved on 12 April 2015.〕 The schools received increasing support in the 1950s and 1960s since many Koreans in Japan sided with the Chongryon; at the time North Korea appeared to have good economic prospects.〔 Beginning in 2010 and by 2014 increasing tensions between the Japanese and North Korean governments caused Japanese cities and prefectures to end subsidies to North Korean schools.〔 In the fiscal year of 2011 the Osaka Prefectural Government ended subsidies to a North Korean educational corporation which operates ten schools.〔Watanabe, Natsume.

Retrieved on October 14, 2015.〕 The Japanese central government also took measures against the schools. In 2010 it prevented North Korean high schools from being a part of a tuition free waiver program.〔 In February 2013 the Japanese central government, citing the development of the North Korean nuclear program and a lack of cooperation regarding the North Korean abductions of Japanese citizens,〔 officially declared that North Korean schools may not be a part of the tuition waiver program.〔 The January 2013 passage of United Nations Security Council Resolution 2087, which increased sanctions against North Korea, caused North Korean government support for the schools to erode.〔 By 2014 the loss of funding put many North Korean schools in financial peril.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chōsen gakkō」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
