Women's class - Fujingakkyu (English) seminar for women

Japanese: 婦人学級 - ふじんがっきゅう(英語表記)seminar for women
Women's class - Fujingakkyu (English) seminar for women
A form of women's education. It is a part of social education that aims to teach women about issues in their daily and professional lives in a planned and collective manner over a certain period of time. It began after World War II with the aim of educating women about the democratization of society, including the exercise of suffrage, and the democratization of local communities and family life, and from the mid-1950s it became a central form of women's education alongside women's group activities. However, after peaking around 1960, the number of participants in government-sponsored courses for women has been declining. The reasons for this include the expansion of school education opportunities, the development of mass media, and the development of private educational businesses such as cultural centers. In addition, considering the increase in the number of women in the workforce, we can expect to see a diversification of content, including the review of learning styles, the review of gender roles, and the resolution of women's issues. In recent years, the word "women" has tended to be used rather than "fujin."

Japanese:
女性教育の形態の一つ。女性が日常生活や職業生活を通じての課題を一定期間にわたって,計画的,集団的に学習することを目的とする社会教育の一環。第2次世界大戦後,参政権の行使をはじめとした社会の民主化と,地域社会や家庭生活の民主化に向けて女性を啓発することを目的として始まり,1950年代中頃から婦人団体活動と並んで女性教育の中心的形態となっていく。しかし,1960年頃をピークに行政による女性のための講座などへの参加者は減少傾向にある。その背景として,学校教育機会の拡充,マス・メディアの発達,カルチャーセンターなど民間教育事業の発展などがある。また,女性の就労人口の増加などを考えると,学習形態の検討,性別役割分担の見直し,女性問題の解決などを含めた内容の多様化についての視点が今後期待される。なお近年は,「婦人」よりも「女性」の語を使う傾向がある。
