PART B_2

School is where you can learn fundamental subjects such as math, science, social studies, and a national language. In the meantime, it is a place where social and cooperative skills are acquired. Children in Japan are required to attend elementary and junior high schools to receive compulsory education between the ages of 6 and 15.

Although the period is compulsory, some children do not attend school. In Japan, out-of-school children in elementary and junior high schools totaled 164,528 in 2018 (up from 144,031 the previous year), a 14% increase from the previous year. The reasons are varied and complex, but many organizations and people keep trying to solve each other’s problems.

Nowadays, learning styles are changing from lectures to interactive learning. The world is becoming a place where each individual needs to deal with various situations and problems. Therefore, students are expected to actively voice their opinions and accept opinions that differ from their own.
To develop such students, the method and style of school education are constantly evolving. Let us enjoy learning at school; it will broaden your horizons and expand your future options.
