Schools start in April. Universities start in April. New employees start working in April. There are entrance ceremonies all around the country. April is the month when everything begins in Japan. Not all the world is like this however. The school year starts in late August or September in most European countries and in North America. In the southern part of the world, the school year often starts in January or February. In fact, I could only find two countries where the school year starts in April, Nepal and Pakistan. South Korea is not so different from Japan. Its school year starts in March. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
