### 第百三十三条
<sup>art-133 · https://japanlaw.org/en/school-education-act/art-133 · https://japanlaw.org/l/322AC0000000026/art-133</sup>

**第一項**  第五条、第六条、第九条から第十二条まで、第十三条第一項、第十四条、第四十三条及び第四十四条の規定は専修学校に、第四十二条第一項の規定は専修学校（専門課程を置くものを除く。）に、第百五条の規定は専修学校（専門課程を置くものに限る。）に準用する。この場合において、第十条中「大学及び高等専門学校にあつては文部科学大臣に、大学及び高等専門学校以外の学校にあつては都道府県知事に」とあるのは「都道府県知事に」と、第十三条第一項中「第四条第一項各号に掲げる学校」とあるのは「市町村（市町村が単独で又は他の市町村と共同して設立する公立大学法人を含む。）の設置する専修学校又は私立の専修学校」と、「同項各号に定める者」とあるのは「都道府県の教育委員会又は都道府県知事」と、同項第二号中「その者」とあるのは「当該都道府県の教育委員会又は都道府県知事」と、第十四条中「大学及び高等専門学校以外の市町村の設置する学校については都道府県の教育委員会、大学及び高等専門学校以外の私立学校については都道府県知事」とあるのは「市町村（市町村が単独で又は他の市町村と共同して設立する公立大学法人を含む。）の設置する専修学校については都道府県の教育委員会、私立の専修学校については都道府県知事」と読み替えるものとする。
<sup>art-133/par-1 · https://japanlaw.org/en/school-education-act/art-133/par-1 · https://japanlaw.org/l/322AC0000000026/art-133/par-1</sup>
Articles 5, 6, 9 through 12, Article 13, paragraph (1), Article 14, and Articles 43 and 44 apply mutatis mutandis to specialized training colleges, Article 42, paragraph (1) applies mutatis mutandis to specialized training colleges (excluding those with post-secondary courses), and Article 105 applies mutatis mutandis to specialized training colleges (limited to those with post-secondary courses). In this case, the phrase "and universities and colleges of technology must notify the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, and schools other than a university or college of technology must notify the prefectural governor" in Article 10 is deemed to be replaced with "and must notify the prefectural governor"; the phrase "schools stated in each item of Article 4, paragraph (1)" and the phrase "the respective persons specified in each item of that paragraph" in Article 13, paragraph (1) are deemed to be replaced with "specialized training colleges established by municipalities (including public university corporations established independently by municipalities or in cooperation with other municipalities) or private specialized training colleges" and "the prefectural board of education or prefectural governor," respectively; the phrase "the person" in item (ii) of that paragraph is deemed to be replaced with "the relevant prefectural board of education or prefectural governor"; and the phrase "the prefectural board of education for schools established by municipalities except universities and colleges of technology, and the prefectural governor for private schools except universities and colleges of technology" in Article 14 is deemed to be replaced with "the prefectural board of education for specialized training colleges established by municipalities (including public university corporations established independently by municipalities or in cooperation with other municipalities), and the prefectural governor for private specialized training colleges".

**第二項**  都道府県の教育委員会又は都道府県知事は、前項において準用する第十三条第一項の規定による処分をするときは、理由を付した書面をもつて当該専修学校の設置者にその旨を通知しなければならない。
