Now, However, A Different And More Complicated Picture Of The Japanese Education System Emerges. This Book Places Japanese Education In A Global Context, With Particular Attention Given To How Their Education System Is Responding To New Expectations And Pressures That Emerge From Rapid Social Change. Chapters Written By Respected Scholars Examine Issues Related To Equality, Academic Achievement, Privatization, Population Diversity, Societal Expectations, And The Influence Of The Media, Parents, And Political Movements.
