There are over 8,000 children of foreign nationality who are of elementary and junior high school age but may not be attending any school. The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology compiled the number of students as of May last year through boards of education across the country. This is a significant decrease from the approximately 20,000 people in the first survey in 2019. This can be said to be a result of local governments understanding these children and encouraging them to attend school. On the other hand, there are many challenges. #tacogang #janebirkin #\u30a6\u30eb\u30c8\u30e9\u30de\u30f3
