The education system in Japan

Japan's education system includes preschool, primary, lower secondary, higher secondary, and college/university. Students must pass entrance exams to get into these levels of education. There are entrance exams for each level, and the most important ones are for higher secondary schools and universities. Public and private high schools in Japan require these tests, and they usually test Japanese, English, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies.

Japan is really good with technology, so their way of teaching is also based on technology. Even though school is required until secondary school, there are many ways to promote higher education. They also teach skills that will help students get jobs that are good for the whole world.
