其他摘要：We discuss disparity of informatics education in Japan, describing the current situation of the subject "informatics" in high schools as an example of the disparity. We also touch upon possible future disparity in programming education in elementary schools, which is currently planned by the government. We then point out that for eliminating the mentioned disparity, teachers in schools and education committees should recognize the importance of informatics education. We claim that firmly defining "informatics" as a parental discipline for informatics education is a prerequisite for the recognition, and report "Reference Standard of Informatics," which was published by Science Council of Japan. We finally point out the need of "Reference Standard of Informatics Education", which will systematize the entire informatics education from elementary schools to undergraduate and graduate programs.
