| Until new criteria for establishing new elementary/secondary school were issued in 2002, laws and criteria described here were the main criteria for determining facilities in elementary schools and lower secondary schools. Even after enactment of the 2002 law, these earlier criteria still in function. These days, the focus has shifted from the provision of facilities to cope with increases in the number of students to the provision of facilities to provide an enabling cultural environment, and to cope with individuality of students and their needs, including diversification of teaching methods. Also, reuse of facilities in response to the decrease in the number of students have eventuated in policies to open school facilities to the public.
