The High School Graduation Equivalency Examination is a national examination held by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.
It fairly evaluates the learning achievements of people who could not graduate from high school for various reasons.
It certifies whether they have academic ability equal to or higher than that of a high school graduate.
Japan VegeMap was used in the geography exam. The exam included a question on world cultural diversity and international understanding. The theme was “hospitality for vegetarian travelers visiting Japan,” and Japan VegeMap was introduced as one example of support for such travelers.
