| Abstract: | This historical analysis examines the process of structuring the Korean elementary schooling under the Japanese colonial rule
for the period of 35 years, spanning from 1910 to 1945. Colonial education in Korea was used as an ideological device for
perpetuating the colonization of Korea. But Koreans resisted to such education policy persistently, unlike for the case of
other colonized countries in the same era. The majority of Koreans, including even a small number of pro-Japan people, irrespective
of their social class status, demanded the expansion of elementary education and further took initiatives to raise necessary
funds for it. Here we must realize that the aspiration of Koreans was incompatible with Japanese ruler’s intention. Korean
and Japanese had different ideologies and expectations of establishing Common Schools. Japan’s colonial education resulted
in unintended and unwanted consequences in Korea. |
