Japanese education system

     The Japan education system was reformed base on German and French model. After the World War II, the Americans reformed education system in Japan for six years for study in high school, three years for junior and three years for senior and four years for university or two years for junior college. Over 90% of all students graduate from high school and over 40% of them graduate from university or junior college. A percentage of male students is higher than female students in university but in junior colleges the number of female student is higher. Japanese schools also starts in April ,and it has three terms and one moth for long summer break.  Japanese use entrance exams for choose study to a university, and it has a high competition between students. Most high schools and universities require writing entrances exams to get to the best university such as the national University of Tokyo and University of Kyoto.


In my opinion, I think Japanese student have high performance to study in Japan because in Japan, there education have a hight challenge in the national exam which use in enroll to university.
