Class 9 Books In Japan Include Lessons On Teamwork, Planting And Moral Education
Japan is often admired for its discipline and unique way of making daily tasks simple. One reason behind this is the kind of education children receive from an early age. Recently, an Indian family living in Japan shared an interesting look at class 9 textbooks. While Indian students usually focus on subjects like English, science and maths, Japanese students are introduced to many practical life skills.
They study lessons on job skills, teamwork and even household tasks such as cooking and planting. There are books on Japanese literature, grammar and sentence building as well, which help them grow academically.
As per the student, there is a Job Skill book that teaches students about different kinds of jobs and useful work skills. The Jujutsu and Technology book includes lessons on new structures, bullet trains, growing plants and other life skills. Doutoku is the moral education book, which guides students on how to behave in public, how to keep society clean and how to live responsibly at home. Kateika is the home economics book, where students learn how to interact with others, cook simple meals and work on group projects. Kokugo focuses on Japanese literature, grammar and sentence formation. Rika is the science textbook.
Social Media Reacts With Surprise
Reacting to the post, a user wrote, 'Bhaii iski books kitni rang birangi hai, mujhe bhi chahiyeee. Mere books mein toh picture hii nahi rehte. (Their books are so colourful, I want them too. My books don't even have pictures."
'Kitni easy book hai or ek bharat wale itni moti book de denge 2 parts mein. (Such an easy book, but in India they give such thick books, divided into two parts)," a comment read.
An individual stated, 'Japan is really beautiful."
One more added, 'Wow, in 6 months she already understands Japanese."
Until junior high school, exams are not counted and marks are not added. This allows students to learn freely without tension.

INS Rana, INS Jyoti arrive in Colombo for ‘SLINEX-25'
Visakhapatnam: Indian Naval Ships INS Rana, a guided missile destroyer, and INS Jyoti, a fleet tanker, arrived in Colombo to take part in the 12th edition of Sri Lanka India Naval Exercise (SLINEX-25) scheduled till August 18. The SLINEX maritime exercise exemplifies the deep engagement between India and Sri Lanka, which has strengthened cooperation in the maritime domain in consonance with India's policy of Mutual and Holistic Advancement for Security and Growth across Regions (MAHASAGAR). The exercise is conducted in two phases – the harbour phase in Colombo from August 14 to 16 Aug, followed by the sea phase slated from August 17 to 18. Conceptualised in 2005, 'SLINEX', a bilateral naval exercise has strengthened maritime cooperation between the two nations over two decades. SLINEX aims at enhancing interoperability, maritime cooperation and exchanging best practices while jointly undertaking multi-faceted maritime operations. The previous edition of the SLINEX was conducted in Visakhapatnam last December. SLNS Gajabahu and Vijayabahu (both advanced offshore patrol vessels) will be representing the Sri Lankan Navy, while Special Forces of both the navies will also be featured in the bilateral exercise. During the harbour phase, professional interactions, subject matter expert exchange (SMEE), sharing of best practices, cultural and social exchanges along with yoga sessions and sporting events are included. They aim to further bolster the bonds of friendship and camaraderie between both the navies. Gunnery firing serials, communication protocols, navigation, seamanship evolutions, visit board search and seizure (VBSS) and fuelling at sea form a part of the naval drills during the sea phase.

Manisha's rakhi brother, Sonu
Last Raksha Bandhan, Manisha Bhil tied a 'rakhi' on her 'kid brother', Sonu, who promptly nibbled at the ribbon and cut it off. There was a bond of love between this 12-year-old schoolgirl and her adopted sibling, an Indian hare she had rescued as a tiny, orphaned waif from her family's 'bajra' fields more than a year ago. Instead of 'rakhi' symbolising the protection that a brother pledges to his sisters, it was the other way around for Manisha and Sonu. But the bonds were fraying after 18 months: Sonu's act of clipping the rakhi with his sharp teeth foreshadowed a heartbreak. Manisha with Sonu in happier times. On Monday last, the Rajasthan forest department picked up Sonu from Manisha's home in village Lathi (Jaisalmer). Her father, Ghewar Ram, had requested officials that the hare be rehabilitated in the wilderness as he feared that cats/dogs would kill it since Sonu had begun to wander afar. But Manisha wept inconsolably, her trauma similar to that of a mother torn from her child. Or of a mother when bidding farewell to her daughter as the 'doli' (wedding entourage) departs the parental home. As Sonu left in a box, Manisha sat huddled in a corner, her head buried in her knees, her frail frame wracked by a child's fathomless cries, angrily repulsing her father's entreaties with a lash of her arms. 'Sonu will not be able to live without me. I have nursed him from the time when he was a few days old, initially on goat's milk and later on vegetables. Biscuits and bananas were his favourite. He clung to me like a little brother, I bundled him in warm clothes during winter. He knew his name and would respond to our calls,' Manisha told this writer. God or Devi Mata truly dwells in the hearts of humans. I asked Manisha, what led her to care so intensely? 'It is because these creatures cannot speak. They cannot express themselves when they are in pain or require help. I sensed Sonu's distress in the bajra field, I sensed he missed his mother, I sensed he was in danger as dogs could find him,' said Manisha, who is otherwise a cricket-crazy youngster of the village's 'gullies' with a dream of being an international cricket star. Sonu's last time in Manisha's lap before he was taken away by wildlife officials and (right) Manisha weeps inconsolably after the separation. (Vikram Darjee) From Manisha's warm lap where she fed him his last tomato on Monday, her hot tears dropping like an emotional cloudburst on his sandy-golden fur, Sonu was sent off in a cardboard box with small, prison-like holes for air. Wild creatures so adopted and cared for acutely feel the pangs of separation though, initially, they may appear impassive. Sonu's fate, when released into the wilderness by the department, is clouded in uncertainty as he is imprinted with human familiarity and protection. Sonu has little idea of how to evade predators, a grooming his natural mother would have given him. One can imagine how bewildered Sonu will be without his Manisha when death stalks him, how desperately his eyes will seek her protective lap. Though traumatised, Manisha is made of sterner stuff. Displaying a maturity beyond her years, she told this writer: 'I guess, Sonu belongs to the jungle. He must return there. I had to let go. Other distressed creatures may come into my life and will fill the void created by the separation from Sonu,' she said. On August 15 Independence Day celebrations, Lathi's government school honoured Manisha. The rakhi story made headlines in the local media, and adult eyes struggled to hide tears at the broadcast of the Manisha-Sonu separation video. The schoolgirl's compassion is path-breaking in the larger social and historical context. Bhil tribals were once associated with Rajputana royalty as hunters and trackers of game. Adept in jungle craft and guerilla warfare, Bhils were allies of Maharana Pratap in battles against the Mughals. 'Unlike the Bishnois, who are born wildlife protectionists, Bhils descend from a tradition of hunting. Manisha's inspirational act challenges the traditional thinking of her community's elders and it will encourage other Bhil children to show compassion towards wild species,' principal of the SBK Government PG College, Jaisalmer, and professor of zoology, Shyam Sunder Meena, told this writer.
