%X This paper employs the law hermeneutics method to explore deficiencies in the procurement law for approved textbooks in compulsory education. The following deficiencies were found: 1. Article 8-3 of National Educational Law conflicts with the principle of charging textbooks costs as ¡°agency fees¡±. 2. Article 8-3 of National Educational Law violates the ¡°Bestimmtheitsgebot¡±. 3. The regulation about procuring textbooks drawn up by the Minister of Education violates the ¡°Vorbehalt des Gesetzes¡±. 4. Procuring textbooks by signing an inter-entity supply contract according to the Government Procurement Act violates ¡°Vorrang des Gesetzes¡±. This paper also refers to related laws and regulations of the Japanese textbook procurement system and submits suggestions for revising laws for procuring textbooks.
