Looking at the distribution of schools from the number of students, there were many extremely small schools where the number of students was less than 100. If the school is too small, it is difficult to make even a principal’s office and a teachers' room as well as special rooms for quality education such as a library, a computer room, a laboratory, a LL, etc. The small size of the school prevents effective and efficient use of school buildings. From the results of the regression analyses, schools with good access and close to TEO (Township Education Office) as well as established schools had a high proportion of special rooms. The previous analyses showed that the number and quality of teachers in these schools were high, and educational conditions were also better in terms of facility. Differing educational conditions among the schools is problematic when seen from the viewpoint of equal educational opportunities. The primary school and the high school courses will increase by one grade due to the educational system reform. Therefore, new classrooms will be needed. If students in the new grades increase at each school, it will require minimum a one-unit school building; and the current school buildings will need to increase by a maximum of 24.06%. Even if space is not provided for small student increases, and the increase in space is limited to the minimum requirement, it is still necessary to increase the current school buildings by 13.83%. Construction of new classrooms must be completed by 2028 when the reformed new educational system is completed. However, this seems to be difficult in terms of not only the cost, but also the construction period and the number of schools nationwide. Even if priorities are decided and steady construction is achieved, many schools will be forced to temporarily implement a new two-shift system. In contrast, this provides a good opportunity to think about the appropriate size of schools and efficient and effective regional school configuration plans given the large number of school buildings that need to be expanded. 1. Purpose In order to improve the quality of school education, it is essential to provide appropriate facilities as well as the required number of teachers. Unfortunately, the condition of the school facilities is not well known. Due to the additional two grades under the educational system reform, the facilities need to be increased to accommodate the two additional grades, while the number of teachers is simultaneously increased. However, there is very limited published information concerning these issues. Therefore, after reviewing the current state of basic education facilities, future necessary measures are discussed. 2. Method 2.1 Data to be Used Information about the facilities was included in the individual school data of 2017/18, and this information was analyzed in several ways. In addition, necessary simulations were conducted that considered the additional two grades under the educational system reform using this data. 人間生活文化研究 Int J Hum Cult Stud. No. 3
