Japan Schools in China: A Closer Look
We explore the existence and nature of Japanese schools in China, focusing on their educational approach and cultural impact.
In China, there are schools specifically for Japanese students, known as 'Japan Schools.' These schools offer education equivalent to Japanese elementary, junior high, and high schools. They are usually operated by Japanese individuals and follow the Japanese educational system. Despite their exclusive nature, these schools are legal in China, as they cater to the needs of the Japanese community. The schools often have a closed environment, making them less known to the general Chinese public. While there are claims that there are 35 such schools in China, this figure may not be entirely accurate. These schools play a role in preserving Japanese culture and language among expatriates and their children living in China.
