The Japanese educational system is an absolute joke.
Tokyo to give average scores to HS entrance examinees unable to take spoken English test
(Mainichi Japan)
TOKYO -- The Tokyo Metropolitan Board of Education has clarified the method it will use to calculate the scores of students who cannot take a new English speaking test that will be introduced at Tokyo metropolitan high schools' spring 2023 entrance exams.
If examinees can't sit the speaking test for some reason, they will receive the average score of other students who achieved the same level as them in the written test.
