Among those paying attention to the Japan-South Korea relationship, there have been heated discussions over issues surrounding ownership of Dok-do(Takeshima), wartime sex slaves and controversial history textbooks. These contentious issues seem largely to stem from a perception gap on modern and contemporary history between Japan and South Korea. If the two neighbors are to seek to improve the bilateral relations further, it is crucial to find out underlying reasons behind these differences. In an effort to understand such reasons, this paper focuses on the educational policy during the Japanese colonial rule in the Korean Peninsula (1910-1945). Firstly, the paper considers some of the peculiarities of the educational policies employed by the Government General of Chosun. Secondly, it touches on specific initiatives of the government that had a significant impact on people of the Korean Peninsula. Thirdly, it looks at how some of the major characteristics of the educational policy of the Government General of Chosun have been handed down to the educational policy of South Korea after its independence. In conclusion, the paper discusses historic implications of the educational policy enforced by the Government General of Chosun.
