Education in Japan

 In Japan, children usually begin to go to primary school when the year they will be six years old come.They study for 6 years in there. After that, they must go to secondary school for first three years.Compulsory education is these 9 years in total in Japan. The rest of three years in secondary school is not compulsory. They can choose to get a job, help with the household chores and so on, but these are not so common. I think Japanese government should make the term of compulsory education change 12 years,(until 18 years old) because 9 years is too few subjects to be able to learn, so it might make student's perspective narrow.When they become 18 years old, they can leave secondary school and most people go on to higher education. The most popular reason is that it is more advantageous in terms of getting a job. In Japan, after thr big earthquakes in 3.11, the difficulty of finding employment has become severer and severer, so mosr people try to enter top level university.Of course, there are some people who are interested in some subjects and go on studyinng them at the graduate school. They have to pay about 500,000～1000,000yen yearly.I think continuous assesment is more common in Japan, and it is better than exams, because it is too inconsiderable to judge student's talent  with only one time exam.Also, I believe that the process is more important than the results, because how we learn is more applied and pratical in many things than what we learn.
