Abstract

The International Baccalaureate(IB) is one of the education reform projects that Japan has been promoting since 2013 according to the socalled national strategy for education rebuilding. As one of Japan's educational reform projects, this study looked at the background of introduction, including why the IB curriculum, and the progress of IB from the present point of view. In addition, this study tried to look back at the aspects of Japan's education reform policy from a critical point of view from the problems revealed here. As a result, the introduction of IB, which aims to foster global talent who is fluent in English led by the Cabinet of Japan, can raise questions from a critical perspective that it is an education policy that leads to a new level of educational gap. In particular, the introduction of IB to a small number of schools under the pretext of educational reform should not be overlooked that it may transform into a systematic 21st century-style elite education through public education.
