The Japan Juku Association has introduced a certification system for cram schools to ensure they take adequate measures to prevent sexual violence against children. This system, set to launch ahead of the Dec. 25 implementation of Britain's Disclosure and Barring Service, will require schools to install security cameras in classrooms, conduct staff training, set up a consultation desk, and establish regulations for handling sexual violence cases.
While the DBS system in Britain requires facilities that work with children to check the sexual offense records of employees, cram schools in Japan can voluntarily participate in this certification system. The Japan Juku Association, which represents about 400 cram schools, has opened applications for the certification system, which aims to provide parents and children with a sense of security.
