Summary of Elementary school in Japan
Hello, We are YUI!
This time, as a continuation of the last article, we would like to organize the elementary school system in Japan.
Compulsory education in Japan is a 6-3 system
Compulsory education in Japan consists of 6 years of elementary school and 3 years of junior high school, for a total of 9 years.
In Japan, it is the duty of parents to provide compulsory education for their children, as stipulated in the Constitution.
The target age range is 6 to 12 years old for elementary school and 12 to 15 years old for middle school.
Although high school is not compulsory, the high school enrollment rate is 98.9% (as of 2021), with almost all students going on to high school.
The college enrollment rate is 56.6% (as of 2019), with about half of the students going on to higher education.
In addition, Japanese schools begin a new term in April and graduate in March. Please be aware that the timing is different from that of schools in other countries.
