Research Purpose This article is based on the Opinions on Education of Indigenous Children submitted by Kejiro Marui on July 15th, 1913, and explores the development of educational policy for indigenous peoples after Taiwan’s Governor Sakuma Samata’s“Five-Year Plan for Indigenous Peoples.” Research Design/Method/Approach This article presents historical research. In addition to the discussion of Marui’s Opinion on Education for Indigenous Children, it also presents the analysis and discussion of relevant historical documents to further understand the official indigenous education policies during the Japanese rule in the Taisho and Showa periods. Research Findings or Conclusions This study analyzed the contents of the Opinion on Education for Indigenous Children and suggests: 1). Continuation of the dual development of“Indigenous people’s education”and“Indigenous children's education.”2). Enhance the meaning of education in indigenous children’s education, particularly under the control of the Police Department. This also highlighted the fact that indigenous children’s educational institution in indigenous areas were not actually“schools,”and cannot be considered schooling. 3). The implementation of special upward education for indigenous children meant selection of indigenous children who had excellent academic performance intended for further studies, had a strong physique, good conduct, and firm will, had graduated from educational institutions, and were given public funds to enter the upper-level school. 4. Indigenous children’s education has continued to develop towards Japanese assimilation education. Research Originality/Value This article argues that Marui understood the psychological phenomena of indigenous people from two perspectives:“from the outside in”and“from the inside out.”The former encouraged police officers and teachers to become familiar with the language of indigenous peoples, while the latter meant that indigenous peoples should have their own textbooks and teaching materials, but only limited to the national language subject. Educational Policy Recommendations and Applications Marui's point of view is an inspiration for current indigenous education in Taiwan because teachers teaching in indigenous areas should be familiar with the local ethnic languages and should have textbooks and teaching materials that are tribal-based and belong to indigenous peoples. |
