Editing Curriculum (section)

===Japan===
The curriculum in Japan is determined based on the guidelines for education and the guidelines for learning presented by the [[Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology]] (MEXT). When deciding on the curriculum for each school, the school's organizers will decide on the outline by referring to the manuals and explanations prepared by the Education, Science and Technology Ministry and other public offices, and the schools will decide on additional annual plans. The Courses of Education and Courses of Study are fully revised every 10 years. Before World War II, the curriculum was based on the school regulations corresponding to each school type.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ncee.org/programs-affiliates/center-on-international-education-benchmarking/top-performing-countries/japan-overview/|title=NCEE - Japan Overview|website=www.ncee.org|access-date=15 April 2018}}</ref>
