[(Elementary and junior high school) school attendance obligation]
Even if you choose an education other than school education for regular education, you must be enrolled in Ichijo school (so-called school of national school, public school, private school).
To guarantee the right to education to all the children are being sought by international law.
However, in the Japanese school system, the Board of Education has jurisdiction over only school education as public education, and there is no legal system for general education other than school education, so that jurisdiction is absent.
It has also been pointed out that the country is monopolizing education to school education.
The compulsory education period varies from country to country, and Japan has nine years of elementary and junior high school.
Enrollment obligations are considered fulfillment by enrollment procedures. Parents are not obliged to send their children to school ignoring their will.
If the person has the intention of "not going to school", that is a valid reason for not going to school (reason: refusal to go to school). It does not violate the obligation to attend school.

Fulfillment of school attendance obligations
[Thinking and deciding before entering elementary school]
Parents are obliged to have their children receive general education. Which one to choose for general education? You can choose the one that takes into consideration the growth and development of the child, the desired educational method, and the environment.
Rest, rest
Take a rest, rest
If parents determine that they are not well prepared for school, such as lack of energy or physical strength to go to school, it is a basic human right to take sufficient rest and rest when needed. If you feel guilty about taking a break from school, you are suffering secondary damage. Before forcibly deciding on the next option, carefully select the help and support that each parent and child needs.
The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has notified each school that school refusal can occur to anyone, that it should not be regarded as a problematic behavior, and that returning to school is not the first priority.
Get school education
School at home
Receive a school education
School at home
To receive school education, you must take classes, that is, go to school to take classes, and the guidance record will have a stage table similar to a report card.
The reason for not going to school (truancy) is sufficient if the person is recognized as "not wanting to go to school".
In home-based learning, we will collaborate with the teacher in charge on how to proceed with the learning. It is possible to receive support from outside the school, and there are also access classes and private educational facilities that are treated as attendance.
Choose the alternative education
Choose the alternative education
(Free education such as home school )
It respects the will of children and decides what to do at home. What is used and what is nurtured depends on the child and his / her family. It is a manabi that sometimes corrects the trajectory and grows together with parents and children.
Being enrolled in school, it is the responsibility of the principal to the students. We will give priority to each other's best interests and ask for cooperation.
