Stereotype Kyoiku mama education upbringing children Japan exam

Abstract

In the 1960s, for women raising children, the media called the phrase "教育 マ マ " "kyoiku mama" a "mentor for company employees." This includes mothers who act with great responsibility to "successfully pass the rigorous competitive tests required for children, especially boys, to enter high school or college." In Japanese society, the phrase "a father who parenting children" did not appear. It was the "mother of upbringing" "mother Kyoiku" who became a social phenomenon.

In this article, Kyoiku mama ("教育 マ マ ") is a phraseological phrase that literally translates as "parenting mother." In this article, Kyoiku's mom is viewed as a stereotypical figure exploring maternal  parenting for education of children in modern Japanese society.

It also analyzes the impact and power of stereotypes on education problems in Japan.

The article highlights the stereotypes about education in Japan, on the one side, the development of highly qualified young people in Japan, and on the other side, the stress of Japanese children due to the "hell of exams."
