What is Night Junior High School (Yakan Gakkyu)?
Originally, Yakan Gakkyu or evening junior high schools were established for those who could not go to school during the day due to work or household chores during the post-war period. In recent years, the need for evening junior high schools has been increasing for various reasons. Yakan Gakkyu accept the following people:
- Those who haven’t completed Japanese mandatory education
- Those who graduated junior high school without taking enough classes due to no-attending school, illness, injury and any other reasons
- Foreign residents who haven’t completed Japanese mandatory education
- Junior high school students who haven’t been attending their school
People from 10s to 90s years old of various nationalities are studying at the night junior high school throughout Japan!
