TOKYO -- The Tokyo Metropolitan Government will raise its tuition subsidy for guardians living in the capital whose children attend private junior hig
The Tokyo Metropolitan Government plans to increase its private junior high tuition subsidy for guardians residing in the capital to a maximum of 120,000 yen annually, up from the previous cap of 100,000 yen. This temporary measure, added to counterbalance the growing learning expenses burden and the expected negative real wages in the first half of the fiscal year, will be in effect for the current fiscal year.
The subsidy will be applicable to guardians of children attending private junior high schools, junior high divisions of special needs schools, upper and lower divisions of compulsory education schools, or lower divisions of secondary education schools, regardless of their income. Applications for the subsidy will be accepted from September 1 to October 15 through the Metropolitan Foundation for Private Schools website.
