JR west Re education wave
As 2005 Amagasaki Derailment, the report had put up JR West's management problem very obviously. Soon afterwards, JR West pushes a education method called re-education or nikkin kyoiku even harder.

The goal of this method went really well, but it makes the situation of JR West worse. when driver or a conductor causes a delay of over 1 minute, the driver will be send to re education for 1 month.

Drivers/conductors are not allowed to The education including: the works listed above has nothing to do with improve driving skills.
 * go to toilet without permission
 * talking during work time(excluding compulsory conversation)
 * drink water without permission
 * making delays again
 * refuse to work
 * refuse to be inspected
 * finish work early with any reason ( even it's reasonable)
 * 3 minute+ late to work
 * 1) toilet duty
 * 2) normal education
 * 3) shameful punishment
 * 4) cutting weeds

As a result of this, staff of JR West are being found refusing to work, write fake absent letters, even quit JR West.(in japan, if you quit a company before you retire, it will be harder to find a new job and you will get lower salary)

Most of the trains on JR West during 2005 are speeding because their train are running late.

A government panel in a 2007 report cited "nikkin kyoiku" as a reason for the disaster. JR West vowed to improve management practices after the accident.From then, Nikkin kyoiku become a history event.
