It has a land area of 337,964.32 square kilometers and 100% enrollment rate in compulsory grades and , as a result, an illiteracy rate of zero. The country's high-quality education system has received worldwide reputation on multiple times. MEXT, which stands for Ministry of Education, Culture , Sports ,  Science, and Technology, oversees Japan's educational system. The main goals of education are equality, conformity, creativity, and education.





Consider the following to see why and how Japan's education system stands out:
  • Moral and ethical education is highly valued in the educational system. It emphasizes on moral quandaries- what the learner should do in a specific situation - rather than just what they should or should not do.
  • Elementary and junior high school are both compulsory.
  • Public elementary education is free.
  • In terms of scientific literacy, Japanese high school pupils rank second in the world.
  • Because punctuality is valued in Japan, students are rarely late.
  • Attendance in school is required until the age of 15.
  • 99% of middle school graduates choose to continue their education in high school.
  • Students are divided into teams to tackle all manners to keep school clean.
  • For mathematics, Japanese high school pupils are the most talented in the world.
  • The school motto is " Manner's before knowledge". According to widespread beliefs, the first year of school should not be used to judge a child's potential for learning. They wait until they are in fourth grade before taking the test.
























Success Stories-

Japan has one of the most appealing educational success stories. Unlike some other countries, Japan focuses on teaching how to think for themselves and strengthening their own problem-solving skills rather than teaching them what would be on test scores. Students not only invest much more time to mathematics, but they are also professionally supported and guided. According to the OECD, students in Japan average 536 points in math. The success of the Japanese HES(Higher Education System) is  proven in the current QS ranking(2018), the universal ranking on education surveys, in which 15 Japanese universities ranked among the top 500 in the world. 85%-95% of students feel happy while they are in school, and they never feel bored of the lectures the teacher provides. Furthermore, Japan's education system is an important actor in the production of high-tech, high-value products. Japan is also a world leader in robotics, natural sciences, aerospace exploration, and biomedical research.

the importance of Japan's success story can not be emphasized. Nobody can deny that it's education system is at the root of it's success. That is why Japan's educational system is well recognized around the world.
