Japan's education ministry designated 31 more high schools Monday as institutes specializing in science and mathematics and also designated 34 high schools as focusing on English education, its officials said.
In the fiscal 2006 designation of Super Science High School, one state-run school, 24 public schools and six private schools were added to the current 68, making the total 99.
Twenty-five public schools and nine private schools were also chosen as Super English Language High School, pushing up the total to 100.
Under the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology designations, schools will develop new curricula focused on science and math subjects or the English language and research ways to tie up with universities and other institutes for better education.
A designated school in Saitama Prefecture, for example, aims at raising female researchers in the field of science and a Kanagawa Prefecture school makes students teach English to elementary school children.
