More than 90 per cent of Japanese children stay at school until they're 18 and, for many, success at school has been the key to success in later life. The high standard of education has also been one of the main reasons for Japan's spectacular economic success. But there's been growing concern recently over the pressures generated by the country's highly competitive educational system. This film is a portrait of the schools in a typical suburb of the large industrial city of Osaka.
