VII Cooperation between School and Local Community
In standard Japanese curriculums, 84% of schools offer students work experiences in gthe period of integrated study.h The rate is much higher than in any other course periods of school curriculums. The data show that 17% of schools offer work experiences as special activities, while 8% of schools donft introduce them in standard curriculums but rather offer them during long vacations. In principle, most schools let all students in their grades participate.
