Recently the Yomiuri News on-line reported the following:
日本史、高校での必修化を検討…中教審諮問へ
政府が高校での日本史の必修化を検討していることが５日、明らかになった。
日本史は現在は選択科目だが、海外で活躍する日本人が増える中、自国の歴史を十分に学び、理解している人材を育成すべきだと判断した。文部科学相が今夏にも中央教育審議会（中教審）に高校の学習指導要領の改定について諮問する。教科書検定などを経て、早ければ２０１９年度から日本史が必修科目となる。
高校の「社会」は１９８９年の学習指導要領の改定で「地理歴史」と「公民」に分かれ、「地理歴史」の中で世界史が必修に、日本史が地理との選択制となった。改定前も日本史、世界史、地理は選択科目だったが、「国際化への対応」を優先した結果、学校現場で「日本史軽視」の風潮が広がった。文部科学省によると、現在３～４割の高校生が日本史を勉強せずに卒業しているとみられる。

It became clear on the 5th that the government was considering making
the Japanese history in the high school a compulsory school subject.
Although Japanese history was an elective subject now, as the number
of Japanese who played an active role overseas had increased, it was judged
that the history of its own country should fully be studied and the number of
talented people who understand history should be increased. The Minister of
Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology also in this summer would
inquire the Central Council for Education (C C E) about amending the government
guidelines for teaching in the high school. Through textbook screening etc.
Japanese history could become a compulsory subject as early as from the fiscal
year 2019.
In the amendment of the government guidelines for teaching in 1989, "Society"
of the high school was divided into "Geography History" and "Civic";
and in the World History, "Geography History" was a compulsory
subject while Japanese history became a selective with Geography. Although before
the amendment, Japanese history, World History, and Geography were selective
subjects, as a result of giving priority to "corresponding to
internationalization", the trend of "neglecting Japanese history"
spread at the school campus. According to the Ministry of Education, Culture,
Sports, Science and Technology, it was expected that currently 30 to 40 percent
of high school students could graduated without studying Japanese history.
I think History is an interesting subject. U.S.
