💨 Abstract

Japan's new school year in April signals efforts to address educational disparities exposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The government has updated the High School Tuition Support Fund Programme to provide more equitable access to education, eliminating tuition costs for public and private high schools from 2025 onwards. Local governments are also implementing support measures, such as using online learning tools and creating scholarships for economically disadvantaged children.
