Brazil, the Czech Republic, Germany and Italy have compulsory school attendance for all children up to a certain age, regardless of nationality. In Germany and Italy, this system is based on the notion that all resident children should be provided the minimum general education by the state. In Brazil and the Czech Republic the situation concerning the education of migrant children is even more complex. In all four countries the authorities face the common difficulty of identifying non-citizen children. On the contrary, China, South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand as well as Japan, have no system of compulsory school attendance for children of non-citizens. This policy is based on the educational philosophy that the State is responsible for the provision of compulsory education only to country nationals. Each nation has established mechanisms to provide additional local language support, however effective systems to maintain the mother tongue of students are lacking.
