After school cram schools reshape Japan student life
In Japan many junior high students attend juku cram schools to prepare for exams and entry to prestigious high schools and universities. Polls show over half of sixth to ninth graders participate, with two in ten relying on home tutors. Fees average around 5000 yen monthly, and some centers offer intensive final cram sessions in hotels or even charter planes.
