(2)Request for the Cooperation with the “Survey on the School Attendance of Children of Foreign Nationals”
The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) is conducting the “Survey on the School Attendance of Children of Foreign Nationals” in June 2021. The purpose of this survey is to obtain the basic data for considering enhancement of education for the children of foreign nationals living in Japan.
According to the first survey conducted in FY2019, approximately 20,000 children of foreign nationals might not go to school. As it is conceivable that some of these children attend schools for foreign students, this time, MEXT is asking the board of education of each local government to investigate the number of children attending such schools. Your response to the local board of education of this survey is indispensable to accurately understand the situation over children.
MEXT would like to thank you in advance for your kind understanding and cooperation.
