Juku

Juku are Japanese cram schools where students often go after regular school hours to prepare for important exams, such as university entrance tests. They focus on intensive study, often emphasizing practice problems, review, and disciplined learning to improve academic performance. Juku complement regular education by providing additional support and targeted instruction tailored to exam requirements. They are popular in Japan for helping students achieve competitive results, and symbolize a culture of dedicated, extra effort toward academic success.
