Abstract <p>This study offers a theory-informed comparative analysis of education policies for children of immigrants in Taiwan and Japan, focusing on five key dimensions: legal frameworks, language education support, integration strategies, parental and community involvement, and educational and social outcomes. Drawing on multicultural education theory, acculturation models, and rights-based frameworks, the study employs a five-step analytical process and synthesizes data from national policy documents, international reports, and PISA results (2006–2022). While Taiwan’s centralized governance enables coordinated language support, multicultural curricula, and institutional inclusion, Japan’s decentralized system generates regional variations in access, support services, and enrollment outcomes. The analysis identifies how governance structures shape immigrant-origin students’ educational experiences and reveals both strengths and limitations in each system. The findings contribute to global discussions on immigrant education by highlighting the importance of national coordination, inclusive pedagogy, and equity-oriented policy design in emerging immigration destinations.</p>

Abstract

This study offers a theory-informed comparative analysis of education policies for children of immigrants in Taiwan and Japan, focusing on five key dimensions: legal frameworks, language education support, integration strategies, parental and community involvement, and educational and social outcomes. Drawing on multicultural education theory, acculturation models, and rights-based frameworks, the study employs a five-step analytical process and synthesizes data from national policy documents, international reports, and PISA results (2006–2022). While Taiwan’s centralized governance enables coordinated language support, multicultural curricula, and institutional inclusion, Japan’s decentralized system generates regional variations in access, support services, and enrollment outcomes. The analysis identifies how governance structures shape immigrant-origin students’ educational experiences and reveals both strengths and limitations in each system. The findings contribute to global discussions on immigrant education by highlighting the importance of national coordination, inclusive pedagogy, and equity-oriented policy design in emerging immigration destinations.
