DeltaX Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative: Tsuyoshi Kuroiwa), which operates the cram school selection service "Jukusen," has released an overview of its survey on the "Ranking of Subjects High School Students Dislike."
Upon entering high school, learning content becomes significantly more difficult compared to junior high school, and many students develop a sense of aversion toward specific subjects. Therefore, the Jukusen Journal conducted a survey on "school subjects" targeting 104 high school students nationwide.
The survey results show that "Mathematics I-III" and "English Communication" tied for first place as the most disliked subjects. Furthermore, about 40% of students cited falling behind in class as the reason for coming to dislike a subject. It is clear that academic stumbling blocks and pressure in the classroom lead to a sense of苦手意識 (aversion/weakness) toward these subjects.
This article provides a detailed explanation of the ranking of disliked subjects, the reasons why students came to dislike them, and their relationship with grades, based on the real voices of high school students. We hope this serves as a reference for understanding the mindset and honest opinions of high school students regarding their subjects.
