The German School of Tokyo Yokohama, established more than a century ago, is facing financial difficulty and seeking aid from the German government, following a sharp drop in enrollments in the aftermath of the Fukushima nuclear crisis.
The institution, offering kindergarten, primary and secondary schooling, requested financial aid from Germany in June and has been undertaking other steps to increase enrollments, according to the school.
Michael Szewczyk, the head of the institution, said recently that he believes the request will be granted, given it is owing to the impact from the unprecedented nuclear accident. (Mainichi)
