Increasing the high school enrollment rate for children with foreign roots
- To qualify for high school exams at any age
- Provide support not only to study Japanese but to pass entrance exams
- Correspondence such as special entrance examination
There is no law that encourages high school enrollment

- Conducted at 11 prefectural high schools
- Achievement test is a basic content problem that combines three subjects of Japanese, math, and foreign language (English) into one, and they write ruby characters in hiragana for kanji.

High school enrollment rate is not being clear
- We can't grasp how effective such efforts are
- It is not only the problem of Kashiwa City, but the high school enrollment rate of international children has not been clarified nationwide.
The place and time for consultation are limited
- There is no environment for personal consultation When the briefing session is not held
- In some areas such entrance examination briefings are not held in the first place.
- Consultation may be gathered at the International Exchange Association and NPO cooperations instead
Most of the consultations are related to Japanese language learning, other subject’s learning, and school life. However, since the problems are concerning various issues such as the systems and customs of Japanese society as the background, it is pluralistic. The consultation that has been increasing recently at the “Nihongo Hiroba” are from the junior high school students, and it’s about high school entrance examination and their career path.
Out of all the consultation we got, the consultation regarding entering high school is the most content asked.
