In the above image you can observe the Japanese students cleaning their class rooms. What is that?, do the parents sent them to schools for this purpose?, how dare the management of the school is?, these might generally be the questions we mostly raise after watching the image, isn't it?
But in Japan, the entire education system is this way, the institutions over there believe that, students would be taught the respect, responsibility and also emphasizes equality among them by cleaning their schools and class rooms by themselves.
When the school staff is questioned about this, they said that cleaning their class rooms not only makes them responsible but also helps to build their own character and get identified with it.
In the past, we may times learned that education doesn't mean always through books, but in fact life teaches a lot. Yes, the Japanese schools are educating their students about the cleanliness practically and that would obviously turn them to be responsible about their surroundings and thus be considered as a basic education any student should come across.
