Teaching hours
In Japanese: 授業時数 (jugyo jisu)
Definition
Teaching hours (jugyo jisu) are the number of class periods taught in each year at elementary and lower secondary schools; the law sets a standard.
In more detail
The standard annual total for elementary schools is 850 periods in year 1, 910 in year 2, 980 in year 3 and 1,015 in each of years 4 to 6 (one period is 45 minutes). Lower secondary schools have a standard of 1,015 in each year.
These are standards; schools build their curriculum from the Course of Study and their local circumstances.
Universities count teaching not in periods but in credits based on study time.
In Classio
Classio for vocational schools records attendance per lesson and calculates attendance rates by the school’s own standard; staff follow up students through attendance alerts.
