The Divine Teachings

Japanese: 教学聖旨 - きょうがくせいし

This educational policy is said to have been drafted by lecturer Motoda Eifusa in August 1879 (presumably) at the request of Emperor Meiji, and consists of two parts: the "General Principles of Education" and the "Two Articles for Elementary Schools." It criticized the Western-style education that had been in place since the "School System" and presented an educational view based on Confucian imperial ideology, which became the basic principle of educational policy after the revised Education Act. As the precursor to the "Imperial Rescript on Education" of 1890, it holds great significance in the history of Japanese education.

Japanese:

1879年8月 (推定) ，明治天皇の意志を奉じて侍講元田永孚が起草したといわれる教育方針で，「教学大旨」と「小学条目二件」の2つから成る。「学制」以来の西欧的教育を批判し，儒教主義的皇国思想に基づく教育観を提示しており，改正教育令以後の教育政策の基本理念となった。 90年の「教育ニ関スル勅語 (教育勅語) 」の先駆として，日本教育史のうえで重要な意義を有している。
