The government promulgated modern educational system in 1872. In compliance with this, seven villages jointly established a school, and later one or two villages establish a school respectively. Budget of a school and tuition must be borne by residents. Children were helpful laborers so that school enrollment rate remained about the same as in the Edo period. Children mostly go to school after the abolition of tuition in 1900.
