how many days in a japanese school year
Secondary education in Japan As of the late 1990s Japanese students spent 240 days a year at school, 60 days more than their American counterparts[8] even with the amount of time spent preparing for school festivals and events.[2][8] Traditionally Japanese students attended class on Saturdays;[8] although education reforms from 2002 have made them no longer mandatory,[7] many schools have begun to bring them back to have more time to cover the rigorous material required by the Ministry of Education.
Education in the Philippines From 1945 to 2011, basic education took ten years to complete—six years of elementary education and four years of high school education for children aged six up to fifteen. However, after the implementation of the K–12 Program of DepEd and subsequent ratification of Kindergarten Education Act of 2012 and Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013, the basic education today takes thirteen years to complete—one year of kindergarten, six years of elementary education, four years of junior high school and two years of senior high school for children aged five up to seventeen.[5][6] As of 2017[update], the implementation of Grade 12 has started.
