１　Overview

As we have more interests and understanding of articulation and partnership betweenhigh schools and colleges, “articulation of students’ learning experience and curriculum” is important for both high schools and colleges, and quite interesting in our society.
Therefore, National Institute for Educational Policy Research (NIER) will be hosting “International Symposium on Education Reform 2009”, where we will share practical findings on how education experts in the world challenge linking high school students’learning experience to university, co-hosted with the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) .
In this symposium, we will have professionals from home and abroad, including Canada, Australia, Korea, and the USA, where some advanced progress has been made, and we give some presentations and panel discussion.
