The Japanese Education System is a Failure, Say Some Japanese.
Bracey, Gerald W.
Phi Delta Kappan, v79 n4 p328-30 Dec 1997
A Japanese editorial in an English-language daily harshly criticized Japanese education's failure to enhance students' spirit of independence; develop critical and artistic thinking skills; and promote social awareness and an international viewpoint. The United States finished fourth out of 60 in the (unpublicized) International Math Olympiad. Construction of ethnic categories in educational statistics is problematic when based on racial stereotypes. (11 references) (MLH)
