In Japan, the number of teaching hours of local public elementary
and lower secondary school teachers is decided by each principal within the limit
of normal duty hours. For this reason there is no uniform standard effective
throughout the country.
In France, the standard number of teaching hours for secondary
schoolteachers varies in accordance with the kind of teaching certificate the
teacher has acquired. In general, teachers having certificates whose requirements
for acquisition are severer take fewer teaching hours. In the Federal Republic
of Germany, the standard number of teaching hours for secondary school teachers
varies between academic and non-academic type schools. Furthermore standard teaching
hours are decreased on the basis of age.
