  1. School and Education in Japan By: Daniel Balaj

  2. History • Meiji • Japan started Westernizing during the Meiji era (1868-1912). Schools before that time were mostly for rich people and were not regulated by the government. The Meiji government immediately instituted a new educational system based on the French, German and American model. Primary, secondary schools and universities were established in 1872. In the same year, the authorities declared 4 years of elementary education to be compulsory for all boys and girls, nationwide. In 1899, the government required all prefectures to have at least one high school for girls. • The Meiji educational system quickly became state-centered. The curriculum had a moralistic approach and promoted Confucian ideals of loyalty to the state, filial piety, obedience and friendship. • In 1907, the Ministry of Education extended compulsory education to 6 years instead of 4. and adapted the curriculum to emphasize the importance of the emperor and nationalism. • Post-war • In 1947, added 3 years to compulsory education. Japanese people now had to go to school until the age of 15 (end of middle school), which hasn't changed to this day. Women were granted access to private and public universities.
