Planning education costs
Use transparent scenarios instead of treating one national average as a quote.
National rules
- School fees and national support programs depend on school type, household conditions, and effective year.
- MEXT survey figures are historical observations, not future prices or a promise of aid.
Municipal and local variation
- School meals, supplies, medical support, scholarships, and subsidies vary locally and by school.
Examples (not personalized advice)
- Example: run public/private and 0%/2% cost-growth scenarios, then save toward a chosen share—not a false precise target.
Next steps
- Use the education cost planner.
- Replace defaults with school and municipal information.
