Expulsion from teaching profession - Kyoshoku Tsuihou

Japanese: 教職追放 - きょうしょくついほう

This refers to the expulsion of militarists and ultranationalists from teaching positions in order to democratize education as part of the GHQ occupation policy after World War II. GHQ ordered this in the "Matters Concerning the Investigation, Exclusion, and Approval of Education and Education-Related Officials" (October 30, 1945), and after this, voluntary retirements and retirements designated by GHQ occurred. In response to this, the Japanese government made it mandatory for all teachers, except for those who had been expelled from public office and were prohibited from working as teachers, to be examined by the Prefectural Educational Eligibility Examination Committee, and in 1947 implemented the removal of unqualified teachers through the "Cabinet Order Concerning the Removal and Prohibition of Employment of Teaching Personnel, etc." More than 7,000 people were unqualified. All of the expulsions were lifted when the peace treaty came into effect in April 1952.

第２次大戦後，GHQの占領政策にもとづく教育民主化のための軍国主義者・超国家主義者の教職からの追放をいう。GHQは〈教育及教育関係官の調査，除外，認可に関する件〉（1945年10月30日）によりこれを命じ，以後自発的退職，GHQによる指名退職がなされたが，日本政府はこれをうけて，教職への就職を禁止された公職追放者以外の全教員に都道府県教育適格審査委員会等による審査を義務づけ，1947年〈教職員の除去，就職禁止等に関する政令〉によって教職員不適格者の排除を実施した。不適格者は7000人をこえた。1952年４月の講和条約発効により全員が追放解除。
