THE INFANCY OF EDUCATION SYSTEM IN JAPAN AND ITS FURTHER DEVELOPMENT
Elaboration and establishment of an efficient education system is one of the most substantial goals for the government of any country. The root causes for this are to be found in a huge impact of education system's performance on socio-economic development. It is commonly acknowledged that the latter cannot be achieved without sufficient investments in human capital; neither can it be achieved without quality labour force entering the labour market. The efficient education system, in its turn, is able to cover both issues, thereby boosting the required economic growth. In order to meet the goals in education targeted by the President of the Russian Federation under the strategy for the development of Russia until 2030, it is highly important to conduct a deep research on the main features of efficient education system and to analyse the best practices in that field used by other countries. This article is dedicated to the experience of Japan, as Japanese education system is widely considered as one of the most efficient education systems in the world.
