Japan's Education: A Time for Change.
Overview & Synopsis
Despite the success of Japan's educational system in terms of academic achievement, a closer examination reveals a rigid system that discourages student expression and creativity, stresses conformity, ignores differences in student abilities, and supports an intensively competitive entrance system for high school and college. Discusses negative outcomes of Japan's educational system and compares education in Japan and Great Britain. (LP)
