Cram schools (also known as Crammers) are specialized schools that prepare students to achieve certain goals, most often passing entrance exams to high school or university. The term “cramming” comes from the slang term “to study hard” or “to study a lot of material in a short period of time.” Asian countries like Japan, Korea, the Philippines, China, Taiwan, and India have the most cram schools.

Cram schools differ in form and style according to the social, cultural and educational contexts of the country. However, they typically concentrate on two areas: corrective education and preparation for competitive examinations.

have already begun to transition to one-on-one tutoring, but most have largely ignored the surge of new education technology that has blossomed. Following the outbreak of coronaviruses, traditional school operators in Japan are now thinking of offering online courses. The change is the opening of doors for technology startups that seek to help schools make the transition.
According to the 3-year-old startup, the number of students using online learning has increased more than tenfold since late February, when Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe called for school closures.

Most Cram schools are open all year round but are busy during the summer and winter holidays. Students also attend Cram schools in the evening after taking regular classes at other times of the year. Those who have failed the entrance exams in the past and want to try to take it again can attend more often.
More than 70 percent of today’s schools have been established since 1976, nearly half of them since 1981. According to Japan’s recent estimates, the current number of academic cram schools is estimated at about 35,000.
There are two forms of “juku” or cram school in Japan. The first is “shingaku juku,”. It’s a Cram school where you prepare for a tough junior high, high school, or university entrance exam. The second form is known as “hoshuu juku,” or supplementary school, and it is for children who struggle in their daily classes.

PHILIPPINES

Cram schools are often called “study centers” or “review schools” in the Philippines. Students attend study centers to prepare and pass entrance examinations at college and university, as well as licensure exams such as the Philippine Bar Examination, Philippine Physician Licensure Examination, and Philippine Nurse Licensure Examination.

Korean and Japanese ‘barkadas,’ Vietnamese, Indian friends, and also young Ukrainians and entrepreneurs arrive in the Philippines for a reason: learning English in a native-speaking country or to receive a low-cost, English-taught university degree in health sciences or engineering.
Local Pinoys are hired to teach ESL module courses. A special holiday travel phenomenon in the Philippines is Asian “scholars” who want to learn to write and speak English. Although learning English is one of the most common reasons to visit the country, Asian and Ukrainian students often discover that the country is drastically underestimated and greatly overestimated, but it is still worth the trip.
