A/HRC/17/33/Add.3 any financial support or other services such as free health care and lunches to nonaccredited schools. Thus, foreign schools must rely exclusively on financial contributions by parents, which amount to approximately 45,000 yen per month. While miscellaneous schools receive some financial support through local governments, it appears that such support is limited compared to the support Japanese schools and Western schools receive, notably in terms of tax exemptions and subsidies. Second, qualifications acquired at foreign schools are not recognized as equivalent to those acquired at accredited schools, which creates disadvantages for migrant children when they seek to transfer or take national examinations to enter Japanese schools. While a 2003 reform granted access to university entrance examinations to graduates of foreign schools, graduates from schools for those from the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea have been excluded, because of political reasons linked to the lack of diplomatic recognition of that country. As a consequence, these students are severely discriminated against: their access to university is not guaranteed and depends on discretion by each university. 66. Furthermore, the Government does not ensure that Japanese classes are provided to children in foreign schools, which has serious consequences for their integration. For example, graduates from Brazilian schools have difficulties in entering Japanese high schools, as they must succeed in a written entrance examination in Japanese or English. 67. Access to high school is also limited for migrant children who have just arrived in Japan. If they are older than the compulsory education age of 15 years and have completed nine years of compulsory education, they are not allowed to enter junior high school. In order to enter high school, they need to pass the entrance examination. However, no training opportunity is provided by the Government to these children in order to prepare for the examination: in Tokyo, for example, only a NGO, the Multicultural Centre Tokyo, provides this specific training in preparing for the entrance examination. 68. As a result, many migrant children cannot attend high school and find themselves without any educational opportunity. A good initiative in this regard is the establishment of “special screening” exams for foreign students in the Prefectural Kadoma Namihaya High School in Osaka: the exam subjects are lighter and other special conditions can apply, such as the use of dictionaries. Thanks to this, the city of Osaka has the highest success rate of foreign students entering high schools in Japan. 69. The Special Rapporteur was also informed that migrant children with disabilities or in need of psychological assistance do not receive adequate support. Migrant parents have difficulties in obtaining the financial support to which they are entitled for their disabled children, and children who require urgent psychological attention must wait eight months to one year in order to receive it. L. Discrimination in employment 70. The Special Rapporteur received repeated complaints in relation to open discrimination against migrant workers by their private employers with regard to remuneration, excessive overtime, opportunities for promotion, access to health care for accidents in the workplace and unfair dismissals. In many cases, migrant workers, both regular and irregular, informed that they are employed under precarious and discriminatory conditions, with temporary contracts that do not entitle them to access social security services. 71. In particular, the Special Rapporteur heard complaints in relation to a company in Nagoya that requested migrant workers to perform excessive hours practically every day without any compensation. Such demand caused a Chinese female worker to faint after having worked for 190 hours of overtime in a month. Furthermore, Brazilian workers from 16
