Direction of Local Japanese-Language Education Policies in Kanagawa

The law concerning the promotion of Japanese-language education enacted in June 2019 designates the responsibility of local public organizations. Kanagawa Prefecture studied the status and issues surrounding the Japanese-language education policies of municipalities at the time, and considered the roles of administrative offices, Japanese-language volunteers and relevant institutions. In March 2020, the prefecture summarized how it would handle Japanese-language education in the communities of our prefecture.
