About IERS
About IERS
Established in 1953 for the purpose of pursuing basic and applied research activities in education, and contributing the fruits of those activities to society. In addition to research and study, the Institute also organizes plans and sponsors open lectures, seminars and study meetings. The Institute publishes an annual research journal entitled Educational Studies and a Monograph Series published on an occasional basis.
IERS Policy
The first Director of the IERS, Professor Daishiro Hidaka(1898-1977), described the goal of the new Institute in the first issue of Educational Studies(vol.1), highlighting issues such as the new system of postwar education, international education, and the challenges of teacher training. These issues are still relevant today.
