| Today we heard a lecture about
reform being made throughout the Japanese Education System.
The type of education needed to be successful in a global workplace
that is changing, and therefore, the "entrance exams" and what
they test is under review. In some cases, less emphasis is being
placed on the exam. A move to acquiring skills which produce
an independent thinker and creative worker is underway. |

| One is immediately overwhelmed by the politeness
and attention to detail which permeates the Japanese culture.
Personally, I am most impressed and deeply humbled by their
attitude towards learning. Most countries would hold themselves
us as models if their educational systems were anywhere as efficient
as the Japanese. |
