CHAPTER 4 SIZE AND FACILITIES ANDEQUIPMENT OF SCHOOLS
1 Number and Size of Schools.
(2) Upper Secondary Schools


As of 1975, there were 4,946 upper secondary schools (including main schools and their branch schools), of which 17 were national, 3,701 were local and 1,228 were private. Since there were 4,798 upper secondary schools in 1970, the number of upper secondary schools is found to have increased by 148 during the last five years across the nation.

Change in the distribution of the number of local and private upper secondary schools, classified by size of schools, is shown in Table 4-3, modelled after the table for elementary and lower secondary schools.

Table 4-3. Number of Upper Secondary Schools, Classified by Enrollment

For local upper secondary schools, the number of schools with 101-600 persons and those with 1,401 persons and over decreased, while those With 100 persons and under and those with 601-1,400 persons increased. As for private upper secondary schools, those with 600 persons and under decreased, while those with 601 persons and over increased in general.

Distribution of the number of local and private upper secondary schools is shown, in Table 4-4, in contrast to that of the enrollment.

As for local upper secondary schools, the proportion of schools with 101-600 persons dwindled from 39% in 1970 to 34% in 1975 in terms of the number of schools and from 19% to 17% in terms or enrollment. The proportion of schools with 601-1,400 persons climbed from 45% in 1970 to 49% in 1975 in terms or true number of schools and from 70% to 75% in terms of enrollment. In the case of schools with 100 persons and under, the proportion of their number rose, but little change has been observed in the proportion of enrollment. The proportion of schools with 1,401 persons and over dropped in terms of both the number and enrollment. In private upper secondary schools as well, nearly the trend has been discerned as in the case of local upper secondary schools.
