Japan kindergarten murder highlights exam pressure
A Tokyo housewife, Mitsuko Yamada, is accused of strangling 2-year-old Haruna Wakayama and burying her body after a disputed kindergarten entrance exam outcome.

Education officials promise studies and possible reforms as critics argue the pressure erodes traditional values.
