    The Japan Society for Educational Research (JSSER) (Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo; Teruyuki Hirota, President; Professor, Nihon University, College of Letters, Science and Technology) has estimated the cost of the government's plan to switch to September enrollment, which totals more than 6 trillion yen.

        Korean school holds open classes to show its standards

        OSAKA, Japan - A teacher at a pro-Pyongyang Korean middle school in Osaka talks to her students during her class March 8. The school held open classes to appeal to the Japanese public that its academic standards are comparable to those at Japanese schools. The move came in response to the Japanese government's new plan to give only graduates of ''Western style'' international schools -- but not Korean, Chinese and other ethnic schools -- in Japan automatic qualification to take national university exams.
