During the Meiji Restoration, the government attached great importance to the development of primary education. According to the academic order of 1872, the former temples and rural schools were abolished, and there were 53,760 primary schools in China, which were divided into upper and lower grades with a four-year academic system. Children enter school at the age of 6. This regulation was not implemented because it was divorced from the financial resources of the government at that time. 1886 the order of primary schools is realistic: the primary education stage is divided into two stages: ordinary primary schools and higher primary schools, each with four years. Ordinary primary schools are compulsory education; Higher primary schools implement a charging system. At the same time, three-year simple primary schools have been set up in some poor areas as a supplement. Permanent subjects in primary schools include self-cultivation, Mandarin, composition, arithmetic, geometry, physics, chemistry, history and geography, gymnastics, painting and singing. In addition to the fixed subjects, one or two foreign language courses are offered in the senior grades of primary school. After Meiji Restoration, Japan's primary education developed rapidly. The enrollment rate of compulsory primary education in Japan was only 28% in 1873, soared to 50.3% in 189 1 year and reached 97.3% in 1907.
