The Opportunity Is Clear, but So Are the Challenges The question is no longer whether British schools can succeed in Japan. Schools such as The British School in Tokyo have already demonstrated that they can. What remains to be seen is whether this latest wave of arrivals can build the enrolment, reputation and lasting relationships needed to become part of Japan's education community. Japan has not suddenly discovered international education. What has changed is the number of recognised British schools prepared to invest in it, and the range of educational experiences they believe families will value.
Japan has always had a strong international education community, but there is a real sense that something is changing. With more British schools preparing to open their doors, new approaches to education and greater choice for families, Japan is certainly a country worth watching. And perhaps Japan is not alone. In the latest edition of Education Africa, we ask a similar question about Nigeria, where a growing number of recognised international school names are turning their attention to Lagos. Two very different countries, but an interesting question for international education: why these markets, and why now?
