Number of students receiving financial aid for school falls for 13th year

The number of Japanese students receiving financial aid for school expenses has decreased for the 13th consecutive year.

The decline in recipients suggests ongoing challenges for students facing economic hardship, despite the availability of both national and local assistance programs. The situation highlights potential gaps in current financial aid policies and their effectiveness in supporting students in need.
