Japan education more focuses on morals and ethics (example : how would the student react to a given situation) there is no right or wrong in answering those questions. they are also being taught of an standard subjects like music, maths, sciences and physical education (PE) but morals and ethics is a separate subject complete with textbooks and allocates time. 

Students school life is packed. They have to attended school from monday to friday with additional half day every 2 saturdays. Some of the students would attend juku (after school class) to get better handle on specific subject like English.

Despite this push, the country faces challenges in the form of:

1. Extremely long working hours for teachers which prevent adequate training and lesson planning and preparations for active learning lessons.

2. A lack of clear definitions of active learning which is often misunderstood as physical activity or an amalgamation of methods as opposed to proactive learning focusing on students  (Ito and Chan, 2017).

3. Students who are accustomed to rote memorizing and depending on the teacher to instruct may need guidance and support to ensure successful application of active learning.
