10 distinctive features that made
this nation the envy of the world.
Japanese people are known for their intelligence, strong health, politeness, and wellness. But why is this nation so unique and different from the rest of the world?
We at Bright Side seem to have found the answer:
"They have an incredibly cool education system! "
01 Manners before knowledge.
In Japanese schools, the students don’t take any exams until they reach grade four (the age of 10).
They just take small tests. It is believed that the goal for the first 3 years of school is not to judge the child’s knowledge or learning, but to establish good manners and to develop their character.
Children are taught to respect other people and to be gentle to animals and nature. They also learn how to be generous, compassionate, and empathetic. Besides this, the kids are taught qualities like grit, self-control, and justice.
02 The academic year starts on April 1st.
The first day of school often coincides with one of the most beautiful natural phenomena — the time of cherry blossom.

The students clean their school themselves -- the classrooms, cafeterias, and even toilets all by themselves.
04 In Japanese schools, school lunch is provided on a standardized menu and is eaten in the classroom.
