How is education conducted in the United States and Japan?
A country with strong comprehensive strength needs the cultivation of reserve talents. Education is an important means, and China and other countries in the world will give priority to the development of education. After the popularization of compulsory education in China, the overall education level per capita has reached the high school level, and every child in China can finish nine years of compulsory education. Let's see how education in America and Japan is carried out with Bian Xiao.

I. American education

American studies are mainly provided by the States themselves. Many places in the United States require children to be 18 years old before they can enter the university. In the United States, there is no college entrance examination for them to enter the university from high school. /kloc-before the age of 0/8, education is mainly divided into three stages, primary school, junior high school and senior high school. The education level of the United States ranks first among 2/kloc-0 countries in the United Nations. Among the adult population in the United States, 28% have obtained a bachelor's degree or above. Although the American government has invested more and more in education, it has not brought about the improvement of American students' grades.

Second, Japanese education.

Japanese ancient education was based on China's example. In the Tang Dynasty, Japanese learned from the traditional culture of China and began to set up private schools. It was not until Japan began to reform and innovate that it established its own unique education system. Compulsory education in Japan only reaches the middle school stage, but most students go to high school to continue their studies and further studies. Japan initially implemented four-year compulsory education, and in order to popularize primary education, only six-year compulsory education was implemented.

Third, comparison.

Japanese education and American education are mainly divided into three stages, primary school, junior high school and senior high school. Unlike families in China, they send their children to kindergartens first to lay the foundation for primary schools. Japan has nine-year compulsory education, while the United States has no compulsory education. In the United States, the law clearly stipulates that 18 years old can work, and 18 years old must study at school. Studying in Japan will be treated unfairly, and children whose parents are not Japanese can enjoy exemption from compulsory education, that is, children who are not Japanese cannot receive compulsory education.
