Today, nations in the world are more and more interdependent. If they are to develop together, it is necessary that each nation learn about the history, culture, customs and value systems of other nations and strive for mutual understanding. In increasing international understanding, it has become a critical task for each nation to systematically and continuously promote international exchange and cooperation in the fields of education, culture and sports.
The Ministry has been promoting the internationalization of education, culture and sports, placing emphasis on such aspects as: 1)nurturing Japanese citizens who are trusted in the international community; 2)carrying out extensive international exchange in the fields of education, culture and sports; 3)promoting the exchange of students; 4)enriching the teaching of the Japanese language to foreigners; and 5)improving educational programs for Japanese children staying overseas, as well as for those who have returned from a long stay abroad.
