Two Pages for International Education

While searching for this week's assigned area, I found these two pages that had good statistical data. This first page, National Clearing House for US-Japan Studies includes "A Day in the Life" type information and also has the statistics that are interesting. Looking at what their students experience is interesting. I found the Day in the Life of a Japanese Student particularly informative.
The second page was from the MEXT Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology. This had really nice graphs and charts showing everything from the percentages of students that are enrolled in various majors at college, how many kindergarten students go on and percentage of compulsory age students that are not enrolled and the reasons for not being enrolled. It's really a quite complete list. If you have the time, there are some numbers here that are surprising.
