I want to go to high school
In Japanese society, it is advantageous to graduate from high school for
future employment. But it takes many times more effort than children
raised in Japan. We introduce information necessary for foreign
children to go high school in Japan. I hope you will do your best.

■ Students eligible to take the Japanese high school entrance exam
1. Those who have been educated for 9 years in their home country and have a certificate ofcompletion, etc.
2. Those who came to Japan under the age of 15 and graduated from a Japanese junior high school
3. Those who have taken and passed the Junior High School Graduation Certification Test inJapan*The “Junior High School Graduation Certification Test” is a test of what they study in aJapanese junior high school.
■Students who are not eligible for high school entrance exams
There are three ways for students who are not eligible to take the Japanese high school exam totake the exam.
1. The student should enter a junior high school in Japan. If the school, the person in question,and family agree, admission is possible even if the person is 15 years or older. There are no
special classes in Japanese after enrollment.
2. The student should enter a junior high school at night and obtain a junior high school
graduation certificate.
* There are 1 night-junior high school in Saitama Prefecture (Kawaguchi City) and 8 inTokyo.
3. Take classes online for shortfalls in your home country and receive a certificate of completionof education for 9 years in your home country.
■ High School Entrance Examination [Take the same entrance exam as Japanese students]
1. There is a special quota for foreign students at public high schools. This course is intended forstudents who can study basic in Japanese. However, students who come to Japan within 3 years
have only two subjects in English and mathematics, and interviews.
2. Some private high schools have a system that accepts students who are
proficient in languages overseas. * Be sure to check if there isJapanese language support.
3. Night high schools accept students even if they do not have Japanese
language skills but classes are conducted in Japanese.
4. In some cases students with some level of Japanese and learning ability
are able to enter correspondence high school.
■ Where to study if you cannot enter high school
1. Learning support class sponsored by NPO*Ex: FICEC and many others (free)
2. Japanese language school to study only
Japanese (charged)
3. Free school to support high school (charged)

When I applied for an extension of my visa period of stay, I was surprised to hear from animmigration official saying, “You are divorced and you have lost your status of residence”. It seems
that my Japanese husband filed a divorce report while my father died suddenly and returned to myhome country. What should I do?
If the other party submits a divorce report to the government office even though you do not agree todivorce, and the family register at the government office accepts the notification, a divorce byconsultation is formally established.
If you do not agree to the conclusion of the divorce, you should apply to the family court for mediation
to confirm the invalidity of the divorce.
If a divorce report is filed without permission, it will take a lot of time and effort to correct it. If you
are worried about a divorce report being submitted without your permission, it is safe to submit a“Notice of Refusal of Divorce Report” to the government office.
I have lived in Japan for 10 years with overstay. I’m afraid of COVID-19, so I’d like to get a vaccine.
What should I do?
You should have vaccination ticket to get the vaccination. In some municipalities, you can receive thevaccination ticket if you can prove that you live in the municipality, such as electricity bills andwater bill receipts. Please ask your contact window regarding COVID19 (health center or city hall).
