The participation rates in gKodomo-Kaih (childrenfs gathering) are falling at both elementary school and lower secondary school, although 45% of children at elementary school still participate in Kodomo-Kai, which is a very high rate, compared with the other groups. At lower secondary school levels, participation in groups related to sports is the highest, with the rate of participation in Kodomo-Kai coming. However, more than 80% of students in lower secondary schools do not participate in any outside groups, which is caused by high rates of participation in club activities organized by schools themselves.
