The Director of Centre for Asian Studies at the Univer­sity of Ghana, Professor Lloyd Amoah, yesterday advocated the inculcation of the Japanese style of education in the country's schools.

According to him, adopting Japanese style of education in schools, especially basic educa­tion would help build a more sensitive, alert, more collective sense of self than it currently experiencing.

The Japanese style education is a holistic approach in educa­tion that aims to build overall character of children focusing on three components.

These components includes, "Solid Academic Ability," that focuses on competency to solidly learn the basics by taking initiative to find issues, learn and think, decide and act inde­pendently and to also better solve problems.
