2 Statistics and ranks
2.1 MATHS - Japan are 7/65 with a mean score of 536
2.2 READING - Japan are 4/65 with a mean score of 538
3 Formal education starting age
3.1 Pre-school attendance in Japan is pretty much universal. It is not mandatory, but the participation rate of 3, 4, and 5 year olds is close to
100%. Day Care is for kids from 6 months through 5 years of age. The school year runs from 1 April and ends 31 March. The children are
grouped into cohorts according to birthdate. That is, little Taro born 31 March and Hanako born 1 April will be in different cohorts. Most Day
Cares will have six cohorts; 6 months, 1 year old, 2 year old, 3 year old, 4 year old, 5 year old.
