Tuition plus tuition
Let's take a look at how much it costs for a child to go from kindergarten to college. Based on the statistical data of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology and the Japan Policy and Finance Corporation, we came up with the following results: If all the students from kindergarten to university go to national or public schools, one child will spend 10.78 million yen (about 600,000 yuan). RMB); if you study in private schools from junior high school to university, and the university is a liberal arts major, it will cost 16.74 million yen; if you all go to private schools from kindergarten, it will cost as much as 25.33 million yen.
Public elementary and junior high schools in Japan are free, but the annual tuition for private schools is more than 400,000 yen. The tuition fees of private universities average 910,000 yen a year, which is 70% higher than that of national universities.
The financial burden brought by extracurricular activities such as tuition classes and specialty classes is also heavy. According to statistics from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, 63% of the education expenditures of families with children attending public junior high schools are occupied by extracurricular activities, which are mainly supplementary tuition fees. Especially for junior high school students preparing to take the middle school entrance examination, it is one of the benefits of learning Spanish.
