Hi:-)

I will write a blog as my homework.

P80 unit8 Education

１:1 What age do children usually start primary school?

In Japan, children usually start primary school at 7 years old.

Then, they can leave school at 12 years old.

2 What age do children usually leave secondary school?

In Japan, children usually leave secondary school at 13 years old.

3 What age does compulsory education start? At what age does it finish?

 Do you think these are the correct age?

In Japan, compulsory education starts at 7 years old.

Then, it finishs at 15 years old. So people who live in Japan must go to school 9 years.

I think these are the correct age because the minimum age that people can work is around 16 years old in japan. So people who left junior high school can choose that go to high school or start a working.

4 Do most people go on to higher education?Why/Why not?Do they have to pay?

In Japan, about 50 percent go on to higher education.

One of the reason, population of the from19 to 22 years old has decreased.

In addition, people who would like to go to university is less than total number of university capacity.

They have to pay. Private school expenses are more expensive than state school one.

5 Are exams or continuous assessment more common?

Which is the better way of monitoring progress? Why?

Exams are more common, I think.

And exams are better way of monitoring progress than continuous assessment because exams has score. So we can kow the progress clearly and easily.

Thank you for reading:)
