Although there are many private schools in Japan, and there are different forms of cram schools for students at night (three times a week, without in-service teachers), public secondary schools are still the main form of Japanese secondary schools. These schools have clean and beautiful campuses, advanced facilities and orderly management. For example, Fukuoka-CHO, with a population of less than 30,000, invested 3 billion yen to build Fukuoka Middle School two years ago, and the cost of a gymnasium reached 500 million yen.
The main courses in junior high school are Mandarin, Society, Mathematics, Science, Music, Fine Arts and Healthy Sports. Ethics and technical home economics, etc. Take foreign languages as an elective course. Therefore, the English level of Japanese junior high school students is obviously lower than that of China junior high school students. The main courses in senior high school are Mandarin, historical geography, civics, mathematics, foreign languages, science, health sports art (craft, calligraphy, music, art) and home economics. Elective courses are rich in content, including industry, agriculture, business, performance, nursing and so on, which has certain practical value. The educational evaluation of individual students has gradually shifted from emphasizing scores and academic qualifications to comprehensive evaluation of knowledge, skills, personality, health and special abilities.
Japanese classroom teaching is quite lively. Ye Shuai: Bilateral activities are more casual, and students can sit and talk, which is not as rigorous as primary and secondary schools in China. We saw a very serious example: in geography class, the teacher was demonstrating the causes of total solar eclipse and partial solar eclipse. The whole class sat around the teacher, some bossing around, some putting forward their own opinions to the teacher. The relationship between teachers and students is very harmonious, and the teacher looks very easy-going.
The Japanese worship China's Confucius and Confucianism, so they attach great importance to the principle of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude. Like Fu Guang Middle School, the classroom partition is movable and can be turned into a large classroom, teaching more than 40 people in one class; Sometimes it is divided into three parts, the top students of 10, 20 ordinary students and several mentally retarded students sit separately, and then they are educated according to different degrees, different requirements and different methods. In Jialing Middle School, we also saw a touching scene in which a teacher took pains to tutor two mentally retarded students.
Compared with the teaching of cultural knowledge, Japanese middle schools seem to pay more attention to the cultivation of students' good habits and the improvement of teachers and students' physical quality. In Japanese middle schools, boys are always flat-headed: girls-with short hair and navy uniforms; Students wear soft-soled shoes when they enter school. The whole campus is spotless, with no traces of scraps of paper and phlegm. Modern Japanese bow to everyone, be punctual, pay attention to efficiency and be studious, which may be the result of school education.

Japan generally attaches importance to the combination of school, family and society. Most Japanese women stop working after they get married and have children, so they have more energy and time to cooperate with schools to educate their children. We once attended the parent-teacher conference of Wen Xue Middle School. This parent committee is responsible for training parents, organizing lectures and giving feedback to schools. It is really doing real work. When we ask "what kind of children do you want to raise", the answer is: first, children should be healthy; Secondly, they should get along well with friends and classmates; Third, they should not cause trouble to others; Fourth, they should be on time. We asked parents how much pocket money to give their children. A parent replied that she gave 3,000 yen to the third grade children and 500 yen to the fifth grade children every month. The money is mainly used to buy school supplies. In Japan, it costs 100 yen to buy a popsicle, which shows that parents give their children little pocket money.
It should be admitted; Japan attaches great importance to education. At a symposium, an old speaker said: plant flowers for one year, plant trees for ten years, and educate people for a hundred years. It coincides with China's famous saying that it takes ten years to plant trees and a hundred years to educate people. The Japanese government's huge investment in education and the whole society's great attention to education have indeed put education on a virtuous circle, and the general improvement of national quality is the success of Japanese education. How to complete the substantial transformation from continuing education to quality education is a puzzling and urgent problem for educators in China. The successful experience of Japanese secondary education has certain reference significance for Chinese secondary education.
