Japanese Education and Its Implications for U.S. Education.
Shimahara, Nobuo K.
Phi Delta Kappan, v66 n6 p418-21 Feb 1985

Japanese education aims at egalitarianism, student motivation, and moral development. Some elements of Japan's educational success may be exportable, but others are too culturally determined. (PGD)
