The liberalization of school-attendance-districts is one of the steps which may be taken toward the diversification of education. Positive results will facilitate the revitalization of school education and the planning of school facilities. 2.The system of liberalized school-attendance-districts is broken into 8 main categories according to the degree of the schools' selectiveness. This repot are proposed C I・C II type and D I・D II type system of liberalized school-attendance-districts; parents are free to select a public school in a neighboring school area or any school area they deem appropriate for their child's education. The system of liberalizing school-attendance-districts contains many controversial issues. In order to plobe the attitudes of parents toward the idea of school selection, a survey was conducted. Parents were asked a) to evaluate the public schools which their children attend and b) to provide opinions regarding the liberalization of school-attendance-districts. The following points were clarified from the study. 3. At the elementary school level, 20 % of the parents surveyed supported the idea of liberalized school-attendance-districts (i.e., freedom of selection of schools). At the junior high school level 40 % of the parents supported the liberalized attendance district system. Also, it was found that the desire for liberalized attendance district systems increased as the level of the parents' education became higher. 4. Parents rated highly schools in the established metropolitan school-attendance-districts, particularly ones in the metropolitan residential areas, and their degree of satisfaction with these schools was also high. The rating of schools in the suburbs and planned residential areas was low. Although parents in the metropolitan areas were satisfied with their schools, the desire for a liberalized attendance system became higher as the surveyed area moved closer to the center of the metropolitan area. 5. It was found that parents considered the most important critera in the selection of schools to be the "unigueness of educational guidance and materials taught" followed by "quality of teachers", facilities/environment and commuting time.
