Brazilian_schools_in_Japan
Brazilian schools in Japan (ブラジル学校, Burajiru gakkō) are schools that specifically cater to Brazilians living in Japan. Many students who attend such schools are Fushūgaku (不就学), or children who do not attend public schooling. This is either due to parents wanting their children to attend school in their native language, or because they have little experience with or knowledge of Japanese culture or language.

In 1995 there were five Brazilian schools in Japan. In 2008 there were about 100 Brazilian schools in the country.[1] According to the Japanese Ministry of Education, there are more than 80 such schools across Japan as of 2009, 53 of which have received official approval by the Brazilian government. Between 30 and 200 students are enrolled at each of these schools. In addition to these, it is likely there are many more unlicensed schools in operation.
