Student Life in Japan

The education system in Japan is divided into 3 stages: primary school (grades 1-6), secondary school (grades 7-9), senior high school (grades 10-12). Education in the first two free and compulsory, and high school are already worth the money. Japanese mothers are usually very attentive to the success of their children. They maintain close contact with teachers, participate in school life, in the case of disease in children sometimes go instead to the lessons and lecture outlines.

The academic year at a Japanese school normally begins in April and ends the following March. Some classes are run year-round, but classes are usually divided into semesters, lasting through the first semester (April - September) or the second semester (October - March).

Education in Japan six days, but every second Saturday is a day off . At school start after six years. Prior to this, children usually attend kindergarten. By the time they start school children should have basic numeracy and be able to read hiragana and katakana.

Often in Japanese schools do not have cafeterias and locker rooms, so students have to eat and hang clothes in the classroom. At the end of the lessons students can fully clean the school and schoolyard territory.

For high school students frequently organize joint field trips and excursions to the ancient Japanese cities and temples. Such trips usually last three to four days.
