In
education in Japan,
secondary schools (kôtôgakkô) cover grades 10 through 12, and
attendance is not compulsory. Most Japanese high schools have complicated
admissions procedures, similar to university admissions in other
countries. The top high schools, however, graduate their students directly
into the top universities. Students that do not plan to attend university
are generally tracked into vocational high schools: very few middle school
graduates forego high school entirely, although they are free to do so if
they wish.
