Under the equal opportunity of education ideology of the American Occupation years, ability and achievement became the guiding principles of the Japanese education system. This study, combining a theoretical approach derived from political sociology with historical research, explores the impact of Occupation policies on Japanese higher education and on the rise of a meritocracy. The research suggests that it was two conditions—the new ideology of equal educational opportunity and the traditional university prestige system of prewar origin—that gave rise to a specifically Japanese meritocracy, membership of which was based on a very competitive and standardized university entrance exam. By focusing on higher education reform and meritocracy during the Occupation years, the study examines the changing relationship of higher education and society and how reform policies initiated a new dimension of freedom and equity in postwar Japan. Since the process of reform was directly related to Japan's social, political, and economic transformation, the study attempts to understand this evolution. At the same time, it charts the dilemma of meritocracy and how Japanese education has begun to fall under the domination of a logic which makes it possible to stratify people on the basis of their achievement and by the measurement of standard deviations.
