Koreans in Japan
Chōsen gakkō are foreign schools for Koreans in Japan who strongly support North Korea, although they are not acknowledged as regular schools by Koreans in Japan who support South Korea and Japanese who support the South over the North. On the opposite side, Kankoku gakkō（韓国学校）are Korean schools sponsored by South Korea and operated by Mindan. Kankoku gakkō have fewer students than Chōsen gakkō, but they are acknowledged by South Koreans. Koreans who live in Japan supporting South Korea are likely to attend a Kankoku gakkō. Alternatively, they can go to a normal school in Japan with Japanese when there is no Kankoku gakkō in their area. Most Koreans who have lived in Japan since they were born, however, go to normal schools even if there is a Kankoku gakkō near them.
