This paper is concerned with the "incentive divide" among public school students in Himeji, focusing on the domains of learning orientations and educational aspirations. In a series of educational reform controversies, long neglected issues of educational inequality among socio-cultural classes has been raised. Empirical studies by Kariya, et.al. (2002) demonstrated that the incentive to learn as well as academic standards of Japanese students have been deteriorating over the last decade, with the trend toward widening gaps between "haves" and "have-nots" of socioeconomic and cultural capital, i.e. Parental human capital. In those discussions, however, little attention has been given to the "New Comer" foreign students who have grown salient in Japanese public schools after 1990's, even though their socio-cultural background may exacerbate the educational disparity even further. The purpose of this paper, therefore, is to explore the current status of public school students in Himeji, including foreign students. Students in three primary schools and three junior high schools (N=945) responded to a questionnaire extending the longitudinal national survey done by Cabinet Office "Life and Consciousness of Japanese Youth." The findings indicated that the incentive divide between Japanese students (n=892) and foreign students (n=53) actually existed, and that some students especially among Vietnamese and Brazilians seemed poised for a path of blocked aspirations by being excluded from the access to post-secondary education. Multicultural Education is an educational reform movement and a process, which seeks to create equal educational opportunities for all students, including those from different racial, ethnic, and social-class groups. It is hoped that this study will add a new light to the issue of growing inequality in Japan and will support the Multicultural Education Movement, which is still marginal in Japanese public school context.
