全国学力・学習状況調査の結果が全国平均を下回る北海道。都市部以外でその傾向が強いとされる中、道内で際立って高い学力を示す小さな村がある。釧路市に近い道東の鶴居村だ。
　 鶴居村には小学校が３校、中学校が２校あり、児童・生徒は計２３２人。道教育委員会や村では具体的な数値は公表していないものの、文部科学省の全国学力・学習状況調査の成績は道内でも際立つ結果となっており、ある関係者は「全道平均だけでなく全国平均も上回り、道内ではトップクラス」と明かす。特に中学校では教科によって平均正答率が全道平均を大幅に上回り、小学校以上にその差が開いているという。
　中心校の鶴居小では朝の１０分間、好きな本を読んだり、漢字や計算練習をしたりする朝学習の時間を設けているほか、成果を見るため学期ごとに漢字と計算のテストを実施、点数を保護者に知らせて家庭学習を働きかけている。教員同士が互いに授業を参観し、「授業改善カード」で課題を指摘し合う取り組みも実施している。村内５校の教員約７０人による「鶴居村教育研究所」では、授業の進め方などについてアイデアを出し合うなど活動が活発だ。
 　小学校３校の中で最も人数の多い鶴居小でも、全校児童は９３人。どの学年も１クラス２０人以下で、「一人ひとりに目が届く指導ができる」と佐野教頭。道教育大釧路校の玉井教授は、鶴居村の「地域の教育力」を挙げながら、「学校で指導したことを家庭や地域が応援し、学習した事柄が家庭で浸透しているからではないか」と見る。同大の中村教授も「古い共同体が生きていて、うまく作用している」と分析する
　鶴居村教育委員会と道教育大釧路校は昨年度、協力して「教育の鶴居」プロジェクトを立ち上げた。学力が全道でもトップレベルにある鶴居村の教育について研究し、地域貢献に生かそうという取り組みだ。大学側は日常的に学校に訪れて授業に対する助言、指導を行うほか、「鶴居村教育研究所」の集会にも参加、教員研修なども支援する。
国安教育長は村を一つの学校と見立て「鶴居学校」、全教職員を「チーム鶴居」と呼んでいる。「学力だけを高めようとしているわけではなく、知育、徳育、体育のバランスの取れた教育が目標」と話している。
　先生同士の横の交流を通じて指導方法を互いに学べる環境にある点がいいですし、学校ばかりでなく家庭はもちろん地域ぐるみで子どもの教育に取り組んでいる点も評価できそうですね。古い共同体がまさに生きている点がいいんでしょうね。地域の子どもという意識をもって学校・家庭そして地域が一つになって教育を考え実施していくことが今後はもっと重要になっていくように感じますね。
