I Outline of Japanese School System
Lower secondary schools in Japan are compulsory and are a part of secondary education. Because of this, a common curriculum is set for all students, while at the same time meeting the requirement to deal with studentsf varied interests and abilities. Class instruction based on level of achievement (/VI-35) has been widely adopted. With the introduction of course electives, schools are better able to handle the varied interests and abilities of students.
