Youth class - Seinengakkyu

Japanese: 青年学級 - せいねんがっきゅう
Youth class - Seinengakkyu
These are social education programs run by municipalities for working young people with the aim of improving their general education and acquiring knowledge and skills related to occupations or household chores that are necessary for real life. They are set up in municipal community centers or schools. They began as an independent learning movement run by young people in Yamagata Prefecture after World War II, and were legalized with the passage of the Youth Class Promotion Act (1953). Due to the rising rate of people going on to high school and the progress of urbanization, they peaked in 1955 and then began to decline, and currently exist in the form of youth courses and youth education.
