ゆとり教育
日本は高度成長期の後半の80後半から90年代前半より、教育改革を行い
ゆとり教育という政策を進めた。それにより、大幅に学校の授業が削られた。
90年代前半までは日本では土曜日も普通に学校があったが、現在は他の国々と
同じく土日の週休2日制になっている。このゆとり教育が始まって以来、
特にエレクトロニクス分野の開発に必要な理数系の学力が格段に落ちてきている。
上記以外の要因もまだあると思います。
Lighter education curriculum
Japan renovated the education from late of 1980s to early of 1990s, and lighter education curriculum was introduces. Therefore large part of classes were abolished.
Until early 1990s we had classes on Saturdays. But now we don't have classes on Saturdays and Sundays as well as in other countries. Since the lighter education curriculum started, academic abilities, especially in mathematics and science needed for developing electronics industry, got worse and it's still declining.
I think these are not all.
