The OECD has just published the annual report on education (Education at a Glance 2009). According to the table 'Expenditure on educational institutions as a percentage of GDP, by source of financing, public spending in Japan are 3.3%, while the average is 4.9% which Japan is the penultimate Grading member countries, and this, just before Turkey (2.9%) (France, 5.7%, Belgium 5.9% Canada, 4.8%). The Empire of the Rising Sun (decline) was at the end of the 30 countries last year, but the percentage decreased from 3.4% to 3.3% cons.
However, the table "Relative share of public expenditure and private expenditure on educational institutions" shows that the rate of household expenditure is 21.8%, which places him second only to South Korea (31.5%) (France, 6.8%, Belgium, 4.5% Canada, 11.7%). The percentage of public expenditure to GDP is 4.5% for South Korea. The rate occupied by public spending is only 66.7% in Japan, as other public entities that households are 11.5% (France, 90.9%, Belgium 94.4%; Canada, 73.8%).
The average class size in primary schools is 28.2 students in Japan, still the second after South Korea (31.0 students), while the average of member countries is 21.4 (France , 22.6 students; Belgium, 20.8 students). For the first cycle of secondary education, a class is 33.2 students in Japan and the OECD average is 23.9 students. And I must say that these figures do not represent reality at all, since there are a lot of depopulated areas in Japan. In ordinary cities, a class can reach up to 40 people, 45 the worst.
These figures do not necessarily want to say that the level of education in Japan is low, but unless the government shows no enthusiasm for education, which is probably a reason for the defeat of Jiminto (PLD) to the last election.
But even Jiminto proposed during the campaign to establish a public stock exchange for the students they need not repay. Until now, there is no public exchange student who is granted. I have made studies to graduate must pay an enormous sum. This system can generate a curious phenomenon. Some students stay at university to continue the search, simply because they do not want to pay the award, as teachers and researchers in educational institutions do not need to make. So we can meet researchers without motivation. During these holidays summer, I had to pay 466,000 yen (3,500 euros) at a time as the annual sum, and it warns me that I have yet another warning because I'm always late (we do not even offer me ease). What's really amazing is that this is not the body of scholarship itself that covers the back, but he entrusts this work to the subcontractor creditor. So, it is treated as ordinary debt.
The share occupied by household spending in education is reflected partly by school fees relatively more expensive than other countries on the other hand by a certain passion for teaching private, especially in urban areas. Even if it only affects a limited number of households in Japan, the amount of expenditure for each household can be quite significant.
Since there is no equivalent to the baccalaureate degree in Japan (as in many other countries for that matter), a person who ends the school must prepare for the competition pretty tough if she continues to pursue his studies. Consequently, a number of parents wants to save the trouble for children. In this case, they choose for their children a private school that provides almost automatic admission to the university's private group. So why not start with the college or elementary school or even kindergarten?
contest in kindergarten for the future of a child until he has the license to the university, it's completely ridiculous. And post-graduate studies, these students are strangely popular with businesses. (Not so odd that it actually, because these school groups have ties with large companies.) Moreover, what sense is there in that? For the school group, it reassures the payment of school fees for at least 13 important years, which is interesting for him. But if it calms parents, what about the child?
This child sees others make the effort to succeed in school, while he may be confined to score too low to reach a higher level. It does not feel the need to cultivate, and it is not unusual for him not to read any book. If this is a matter of general culture, it is not too serious. The problem is that even if it does not work hard, he can get what he wants (or what it is supposed to want). In short, this system can locate the child with a twisted idea of life. Maybe she is not completely false, because it can succeed in life like that, at least in Japan. Once, in the 80 or 90, a chairman of the Keidanren (Japanese Medef a) would have said with a breathtaking cynicism, "I do not want their students to do serious studies at the university. They learn nothing, and they only get the diploma. And after that we have looked after their education. "For these companies, these girls dad and son are ignorant than perfect. They are perfect Japanese, even if they are not perfect Japanese.
So it is quite possible that you meet the Japanese very well qualified but strangely ignorant (some might even be researchers or academics). In principle, these are people docile. They can be very nice and friendly. But they can also be treacherous when they get what they want, at work and in life. Because basically they have not learned what to do to get what they want. And often, themselves are unaware of this deceit.
The example of the contribution from kindergarten is grotesque and fantastic, but I think it's already a misfortune for a child to have parents who want to spare him the effort for the competition for admission to university Japan. (Of course everyone is not going to university, but he goes there, and without any effort.) Because he can not learn what he has to learn during his adolescence. That's my opinion. (I'm not talking about the spirit of competition. But something more important. Something that a person who wins the competition can not learn without effort.)
