    The document discusses differences between Japan and America in education from high school through university. It notes that while there are now many scholars researching such comparisons, differences remain. Japanese high school students face rigorous academic demands, with many attending cram schools after regular classes to prepare for entrance exams. Additionally, extracurricular activities are common, though volunteering remains less emphasized than academic studies. The period of compulsory education also concludes earlier in Japan compared to America.
