Choosing High Schools: Emphasis on 'School Philosophy' and 'Matching Grades' – Students Themselves Increasingly Take the Lead

Z-kai Group, a comprehensive education provider, conducted a survey regarding high school entrance exam school selection among students and parents. The results revealed that when choosing a first-choice or concurrent-choice school, families prioritize 'educational philosophy and school atmosphere' as well as whether the school is 'appropriate for the student's grades.' Notably, the primary decision-maker in the process is increasingly the 'child themselves,' reflecting a trend towards respecting the student's autonomy in shaping their future. Z-kai Group continues to support such self-driven education through its diverse services ranging from correspondence courses and classrooms to ICT-based instruction.
