The Japanese educational system was reformed after World War II. The old 6-5-3-3 system was changed to a 6-3-3-4 system(6 tears of elementary school, 3 years of Junior high school, 3 years of senior high school and 4 years of University) with reference to the American system. Gimukyoiku (compulsory education)time period is 9 years, 6 in shougakkou (elementary school) and 3 in chuugakkou (junior high school).
Student life
Most schools operate on a system of three years starting in April. The modern education system began in 1872 simulation after learning the system was started in April. Japan's fiscal year began in April and ends in March next year, it is more convenient in many respects. April is the height of the spring when the cherry blossoms bloom (who most loved flowers Japan!) and a most appropriate time for a fresh start in Japan. This difference in the system for the academic year that caused some inconvenience for those students wishing to study in the United States. Half-year is wasted waiting to get in and often another year is wasted when coming back to the University of Japan because of having to repeat a year.
Except for the lower grades of elementary school, it is normal to average 6 hours of school a day on weekdays, one of the longest courses in the world. Even after learning that allows, they have drilled and homework to keep them busy. Holiday is 6 weeks in the summer and about 2 per week for the winter and spring break. Often homework during the holiday.
Each class has its own fixed class where students perform all courses, except for training practice and laboratory works. During primary education, in most cases, a teacher for all subjects in each class.Because of rapid growth after World War II, the number of students in a typical elementary and junior high school once crossed the 50, but now it is kept under 40. At the elementary and secondary education, school lunch (kyuushoku) are provided on a standardised menu, and it is eaten in the same class. The high school campus almost all require their students to wear school uniforms (seifuku).
