Teaching guide to state Takeshima's ownership

Japan's education ministry plans to state in a supplement to its new educational guideline that an island in the Sea of Japan claimed by Japan and South Korea is an integral part of Japan.

The island, effectively controlled by South Korea, is called Takeshima in Japanese and Dokdo in Korean.

The new guideline for junior high schools to be used from fiscal 2012 states that the Russian-held i More..slands off Hokkaido are Japanese territories but it does not make any reference to the island in the Sea of Japan.

Ministry officials say the ministry has decided to make the statement in the supplement to the guideline as the government continues to state that the island is Japanese.
The supplement to be compiled in July, although nonbinding, is expected to serve as a guideline for teachers and textbook publishers.

The latest decision is likely to increase the number of Japanese textbooks that will state that the island belongs to Japan.
