Japanese Law (the Constitution and the Basic Law of Education) guarantees the compulsory education of children of all nationals.  According to this law, the government (Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology) also provides free compulsory education to allow children of foreigners to attend Japanese public primary and secondary school.  In public schools, children of foreigners can enjoy the same treatment as Japanese children, (e.g. free textbooks, schooling assistance measures etc.)  The Japanese government also arranges support for foreign children, e.g. providing a “school attendance guidebook for foreign students” in a few different languages.  Furthermore, an Education Enhancement Support Project for Foreign Students is designed to help foreign students adjust to new environments in terms of learning, living, as well as improving academic ability.

Therefore, after you have successfully applied for a Business Manager visa, your children can enjoy compulsory education in primary and secondary school in Japan.  When they are enrolled in Japanese universities, the tuition fee is one third of International Students and is not subject to student quotas.     

In addition to public schools, your children may also consider attending private International Schools.  Even though your children are required to pay full fees, International Schools can ensure that your children are well-educated in native English.
