It is known that there are two types of technical school; one is taking charge of professional education nowadays and the other was one of the type of schools which toot charge of higher education prewar, which were recognized as higher education institutes which existed until 19f95 in Japan. However, the theme which I would like to treat en this paper is about technical schools which existed in the Meiji era (1868-1912).
There were two types of technical schools prewar; some were such schools which were established by social leaders or missionaries those days; the others were such schools which were established for the purpose of educating high school graduates by Meiji government. The technical schools which were studied on this paper during the period weir established since 1868. As prewar higher education institutes, the technical schools took charge of an important role before being permitted as universities or colleges formally. Thus, to study on this kind of school gives those who studies educational history deeper understanding about prewar Japanese higher education institutes. The researcher tried to approach the aspects of these kinds of prewar education institutes' the technical schools' through centering on studying educational laws.
