| The modern school system of our country began from the promulgation of the
school system in 1872. In 1947 the Fundamental Law of Education and the School Education Law were enacted and the 6-3-3-4 system of school education was established aiming at realizing the principle of equal opportunity for education. Upper secondary schools were first established in 1948, offering full-time and part-time courses, and in 1961 correspondence courses were added to the system. The new system for universities began in 1949. The junior college system was established on a provisional basis in 1950 and on a permanent basis in 1964, following an amendment to the School Education Law. Colleges of technology were initiated in 1962 to provide lower secondary school graduates with a five-year consistent education. At first, the courses offered by these colleges were limited to engineering and mercantile marine studies, but following an amendment to the School Education Law in 1991, they are now able to offer courses in other fields, as well as advanced courses. Those pupils and students who are disabled are properly educated at schools for the blind, schools for the deaf and schools for the other disabled, or in special classes at elementary and lower secondary schools, depending upon the type and extent of disability. In addition, there are kindergartens for pre-school children, and specialized training colleges and other miscellaneous vocational schools, which are offering technical courses or those for various practical purposes. Also, pursuant to the amendments to the School Education Law and other legislation in June 1998, the five-year secondary school can be established to enable consistent education covering teachings at both lower and upper secondary schools from FY1999. |
| Organization of the School System in Japan |

|
| Compulsory Education Elementary school aims to provide children aged between 6 and 12 with six years of general elementary education suited to the relevant stage of their physical and mental development. Lower secondary school aims to provide children between aged 12 and 15 with three years of general secondary education suited to the relevant stage of their physical and mental development, based on the education they have received in elementary school. |
| School Lunches School lunch programs are implemented to ensure the healthy mental and physical development of students and to contribute to an improvement in the dietary habits of Japanese people. The lunch programs are firmly established as an integral part of formal education. |
| School Safety In all aspects of everyday life children are surrounded by many dangers such as accidents at school, traffic accidents, natural accidents or criminal casualty. Therefore, schools are giving safety education for the purpose of nurturing children to acquire the knowledge and ability to respect their own lies as well as that of others and to live safely and make a safe environment actively. Schools are also conducting safety management by means of the safety inspections of school facilities. |
| Teachers The success of formal education depends on the recruitment and placement of well-qualified teachers. |
| Teaching methods a. Improvement of teaching methods is required to provide individualized instruction which pays much attention to each child's interest, understanding of class content and the degree of achievement. b. It is recommended to adopt such cooperative teaching strategy as the teaching by the united efforts of teachers of different specialties and the team teaching. Teaching by special part-time lecturers will be more positively adopted. It is necessary to secure teaching personnel for information education and have nurse teachers and nutritionists cooperatively participate in the classes related to physical health and nutrition. c. It is planned to build or improve educational aids (e.g. computers), information communication networks, information equipment and books in school library, audio-visual aids, educational facilities and equipment outside of school and the like. |
