No exams till 10, students clean own classrooms: Actor Madhavan approves Japanese school habits that teach children discipline, responsibility and respect

Actor R Madhavan, last seen in GDN, recently shared insights on social media about the differences in education systems between Japan and India. Japanese schools prioritize curiosity-driven education and focus on manners, social skills, and emotional self-control for younger children. Unlike in India, Japanese children do not take academic tests until they turn ten years old, promoting knowledge over competition. Students actively participate in maintaining cleanliness and serving meals, fostering responsibility and cooperation.
