Discuss how Japanese education is related to its culture and economy
What will be an ideal response
One of the core values in Japanese society is solidarity with the group; Japanese teachers stress cooperation, rather than competition, in grade schools. Children work as a group and all schools use the same textbooks. College admission procedures were also different until recently. Students were admitted to college on the basis of their test scores on a national test. However, because of a low birth rate, Japanese colleges have begun to compete for students. Students from wealthier families have begun to be more likely to score higher on admissions tests and to attend college, based on socioeconomic factors similar to those in the U.S.
