Meji Restoration section

In the Meji Restoration section under History the following is .... impossible to follow with several errors, both grammatical and factual. However I have no access to the citation. Could someone with access to the citation (A modern concept of childhood, Modern Childhood: The Nation-State, the School, and 19th-Century Globalization," Journal of Social History, Summer 2005, Vol. 38 Issue 4, pp 965-985) edit this section to make sense?

What it currently says: "In order to aid in the modernization the country, the Meiji government built a public library in 1872. The Japan Library Association (or the JLA) was founded in 1892 to promote the library. However, public education became the main focus of the Meiji government before they could strengthen the 0 years after the resumption of full international relations, Japan discontinued employment of the foreign consultants." 184.57.192.226 (talk) 22:46, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Issues with education levels in Japan

I have a few issues with education levels in Japan. Particularly with the college levels.CycoMa1 (talk) 16:30, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Could you rephrase that to make it easier to understand what changes you would like to see in the article? OsFish (talk) 04:52, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't want to put words in @CycoMa1's mouth, but what I think they want is for the table to be reorganized in some way. G o m m e h 16:35, 5 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

International schools in Japan

Can someone explain to me why that section is only one sentence long and has not yet been deleted or modified? I'd do it myself but something tells me I should wait to see what people think. G o m m e h 16:34, 5 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
