Every three years, the wonderful Japan Foundation publishes the results of their survey of Japanese schools overseas (i.e. outside Japan). Their most recent survey was published in July this year, and provides the most up-to-date picture of Japanese schools and students abroad. Luckily, the report is published in both Japanese and English!
Some highlights:<\/p>\n

-The total number of people studying Japanese worldwide is 3.65 million. This is an increase of more than 20% from the survey three years ago!
-More than 80% of Japanese students are in Asia.
-The three biggest countries by student numbers are Korea, China and Indonesia (displacing Australia this time).
-More than 50% of people studying Japanese are studying at university.<\/p>\n

The full report is not available online, but the overview can be downloaded in English here<\/a>, and Japanese here<\/a>. Happy reading!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
