The Education Rebuilding Council has decided to urge the government to set up a new body to carry out its proposals, including reinforcement of moral education, informed sources said Tuesday.
Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda will form the new body as requested after he receives the final report of the panel, headed by Nobel chemistry laureate Ryoji Noyori, on Thursday, the sources said.
The new organization to be established in February will be comprised of five experts from business circles and local authorities as well as several Cabinet members, including Fukuda, Chief Cabinet Secretary Nobutaka Machimura and education minister Kisaburo Tokai, they said.
The new body will supervise if the government will steadily implement the proposals of the council.
In addition to paying attention to moral education, the introduction of small, proficiency-dependent classes and assignment of special instructors in science, math, sports and art fields at the elementary school level will also be prioritized, they said.
Promotion of reforms at the undergraduate and graduate levels at university through the September enrollment system and expansion of English classes will also be encouraged by the new body.
The 16-member panel was set up in October 2006 under the initiative of then Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
