From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kyōiku kanji (教育漢字, Kyōiku kanji? lit. "education kanji"), also known as Gakunenbetsu kanji haitōhyō (学年別漢字配当表, Gakunenbetsu kanji haitōhyō? lit. "list of kanji by school year") is a list of 1,006 kanji and associated readings developed and maintained by the Japanese Ministry of Education that prescribes which kanji, and which readings of kanji, Japanese schoolchildren should learn for each year of elementary school. Although the list is designed for Japanese children, it can also be used as a sequence of learning characters by non-native speakers in order to limit the kanji to the most commonly used.
Jōyō kanji is a superset of Kyōiku kanji.
