What model does Japan's preschool education belong to?
Japan's preschool education is a model based on children's development. The basic idea is to meet the basic needs of every child for safety, health, care and respect, and provide enough space for the individualized development of children.

The Japanese attach great importance to preschool education. The concept of "starting with dolls" is recognized not only by China, but also by the Japanese. Since 1876 set up the first batch of modern public kindergartens after imitating German educator Froebel, preschool education in Japan has gradually formed a trend. Through continuous exploration and improvement, its preschool education has gradually formed its own unique model.

Japan's current education system

The principles and characteristics of the current educational management system in Japan are determined by the Constitution and the Basic Law on Education. The Constitution declares that education is the people's right, and stipulates that the educational administrative system should be constructed according to the principles of democratic politics and local autonomy.

Japan's educational administration belongs to the cooperation between central power and local power, and establishes a management system at the central and local levels, and implements a decentralized system under the guidance of the central government in the relationship between the central and local governments. At present, the central administrative department of education in Japan is the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, which is a part of the Japanese Cabinet, and its top leader is the Minister of Education. The Minister of Education and the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology are the central leadership and administrative organs responsible for education management.
