Someone with better English ability should rewrite this entry.

One sentence tells a similarity of Karate belts and Eiken grades saying that learners try to get higher levels. But is it necessary to mention karate belts? Is it also necessary to say that learners try to get higher grades as their English improve? This is rather obvious.

"The higher grades are recognized by the education ministry as English proficiency benchmarks". Is this a fact? I have never heard of it, and cannot find a source.

I dont understand what a "certificated examination" means. I also dont understand "There are seven levels (bands)". Why bands?

"Many schools in Japan use Eiken to measure student progress." is rather different from the reality. Teachers talk about Eiken to students to encourage them to challenge the tests. To measure students progress, teachers have regular tests in school.
