Ethnic education

Japanese: 民族教育 - みんぞくきょういく

Education that cultivates the attitude and ability of members of a nation as a group that shares a common culture to independently pursue their own economic, social, and cultural development. It is similar to education in nationalism, but this refers to the education of the people of a modern nation, and national education and ethnic education do not necessarily coincide. For example, in Japan, it is often thought that the two are the same, but the Japanese people as a nation also include the Ainu people, so they do not coincide. Furthermore, the term ethnic education often refers to education for the independence and liberation of colonial and semi-colonial ethnic groups and ethnic minorities, and the sense of resistance and desire for liberation of these ethnic groups are often included in this term.

Japanese:

文化をともにする集団としての民族の構成員に，みずからの経済的･社会的･文化的発展を自主的に追求できる態度･能力を育てる教育。ナショナリズムの教育に近いが，これは近代国家の国民の教育を指しており，国民教育と民族教育とは必ずしも一致しない。たとえば日本では両者は一致していると思われがちだが，国民としての日本人にはアイヌ民族なども含まれ，一致はしていない。また民族教育の語は植民地･半植民地の民族や少数民族の独立と解放のための教育を指すことが多く，これら諸民族の抵抗意識や解放への願望がこの語にこめられることが多い。
