1. Tuition from kindergarten to junior high school is free. Japan has been implementing a nine-year compulsory education system. Tuition from primary school to junior high school is free. Last year, the education benefits were updated. From 20 19 to 1, kindergarten tuition is also free, and not only kindergartens, but also children. The benefits of high school and college are still escalating. From April this year, tuition fees for ordinary high schools and universities will be exempted by means of scholarships.
2. Before the free senior high school education, Japanese government departments will distribute 1 10000 yen to some senior high school students whose annual salary is less than 6 million yen (about 400,000 yuan) (about scholarships, it is equivalent to exempting some tuition fees). But since April this year 1, this benefit has been updated! For private high schools, tuition fees are waived through scholarships.
First, the application threshold was lowered, and the upper limit of family income was raised to 9,654,380+million yen (about 600,000 yuan). In other words, as long as your family income is below 600,000 yuan, you can apply for an ordinary high school grant. Secondly, the amount of subsidy was increased from 1 1 10,000 yen to 396,000 yen (about 26,000 yuan). In Japan, the tuition fees of some expensive private high schools can only approach 400,000 yen. Therefore, in Japanese high schools, scholarships are very generous, which can basically cover your tuition.
Free university education is the same as high school. Since April 2020, the qualifications for applying for university grants and scholarships have been greatly liberalized and the number of places has been greatly expanded. Four-year public and private universities, short-term universities (similar to specialties in China), post-secondary colleges and other universities are all included.
To go to a university in Japan, you need to pay tuition (once at the beginning of admission, not after graduation) and tuition. The entrance fee for public universities is generally 280,000 yen (about 65,438+8,000 yuan), and the tuition fee is 540,000 yen (about 35,000 yuan). The maximum admission fee is reduced by about 280,000 yen, and the maximum tuition fee is reduced by about 540,000 yen. Most of the entrance fees can be covered by tuition fees, which is equivalent to going to public universities for free.
The maximum admission fee for private universities is 260,000 yen (about 65,438+7,000 RMB), and the maximum tuition fee is 700,000 yen (about 46,000 RMB), which can basically cover 70%~90% of the tuition fee for one year. According to different schools and majors, the specific amount of relief is also different. In other words, studying in a private university in Japan costs about 200,000 yen a year (about 1.3 million yuan).
In addition to tuition fees and admission fees, there are scholarships during college. Scholarship is not the same as tuition remission. A scholarship is to give you another sum of money as living expenses. If students live in their own homes, the amount of scholarships they can apply for is about 350,000 yen. If you rent a house by yourself, you can get about 800 thousand scholarships a day.
Of course, how much tuition fees can be actually reduced and how many scholarships can be applied for during college depends on students' monthly income and family economic situation. Many immigrant families have an annual income of 3 million yen (about 200,000 yuan) and are fully qualified to apply for grants and scholarships. Generally speaking, Japan has achieved almost full-time compulsory education from kindergarten to university.
