下村文部科学相は８日、閣議後の記者会見で、全国学力・学習状況調査（全国学力テスト）の学校別の成績を自治体が公表することを認めない規定について「保護者や地域住民への説明責任がある。改めて検討し直したい」と述べ、１４年度以降、公表することも含めて検討する考えを示した。自治体の意見を聞き、今年中に結論を出す見通し。
　文科省は、都道府県別の成績を公表する一方、学校の序列化につながるとして自治体が学校別の成績を公表することを禁じている。いい意味での競争意識を持たせることは向上にもつながっていくと思います。公教育の質の向上に向けて公表し学校・保護者・地域社会と連結して出発する機会を作ってほしい気がしますね。早期に公表の方向で検討ください。
