Ethnic schools (minzoku gakko) were established in Japan as the number of foreign residents in the country increased. The main purpose of the ethnic schools was to educate children with a certain ethnic background in the mother tongue, culture and history of their home country. Therefore, they were not intended for students of Japanese and other nationals. However, ethnic schools today have experienced a drastic change on account of the rapid growth in the transnational flow of people, coupled with international marriages and the transition of generations into Japanese society. In addition, globalization has led many Japanese parents to send their children to ethnic schools for multilingual education. As a result, in some Chinese schools in Japan, ethnic Chinese students with Chinese nationality have become rather a minority. The majority of students are Japanese, and some students even have no ethnic relationship to any Chinese predecessor. There are also students of other foreign backgrounds. Eventually, students in Japan from multiethnic backgrounds are studying in the same class, speaking mixed languages, and learning the Chinese lion dance after school. Their nature has become much closer to that of international schools, which are more open to students with different ethnic and cultural backgrounds. Also, classification by ethnicity has become difficult, because of the increase in the number of children with mixed ancestry. Therefore, people's perceptions toward minority ethnic groups, as well as toward ethnic schools, have also changed.
