Japan is one of the most educated countries in the world: Here are their secrets
Japan after being destroyed during the Second World War became an economic power that is primarily attributable to the higher education of its workforce. The Japanese school system, in fact, is one of the most modern, efficient and competitive in the world, and has the most educated population registers, with 100% enrollment in schools and zero illiteracy.
We see 10 facts about the Japanese school system, so different from ours:

Students clean the classrooms, hallways and bathrooms. Thus, they learn early to work together and help each other.
