Daytime students in night schools

The government forged ahead with a proposal for the sake of junior high school students. These students were the ones who were rebuffed, or were incapable of going to daytime institutions. Public night institutions typically cater classes to those 15 years old or older who have not completed compulsory education. Educational abutment centers are operated by municipalities, while free schools are managed by private sectors.

There are 97,000 junior high school students countrywide who refused to go to institutions. The new government protocol renders 31 accessible public night junior high school institutions in 25 cities across eight prefectures in Japan. Currently, all these institutions had about 1,800 enrollees, and 90 percent of whom were elderly people or foreigners. All night institutions do not levy tuition like private institutions. The ministry presupposes that some of them would benefit by turning institutions into night facilities.
