One of the eleven Japanese Ministries that make up the executive branch of the government of Japan is the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, or MEXT, also known as Monka-sh. Its objective is to advance Japan’s advancement in relation to the global community.
The ministry is in charge of providing funding for research that falls under its purview, some of which include: children’s health in relation to the home environment; delta-sigma modulations using graphs; gender equality in sciences; neutrino detection, which aids in the study of supernovas around the world; and other general research for the future.
Japan was able to develop economically despite having limited resources and become a global leader in manufacturing thanks to the cutting-edge knowledge and technology that were fostered by its top-notch educational system.
Japan has introduced numerous products to the world, including electric cars, digital cameras, optical fibres, and artificial hearts, using its cutting-edge science, technology, and medicine. Both karaoke and instant noodles, which have revolutionised the world’s diet, are Japanese inventions.
