| Summary: | Abstract Education holds immense value in enhancing human capital. Japan has set an impressive example for enhancing students’ education through quality education. This study’s in-depth investigation unearthed Japan’s excellent contribution to Human Capital Development. Remarkably, their outstanding knowledge improvement concerning digital, physical, health, and creativity enhancement was explored. Impressive success in extra-curricular activities framed their human capital (HC) development policy as a model. This has been achieved in skills development and their footprint, which has been successfully established in hierarchical socialization, harmony, morality, and leadership capability improvement. Their initiative and entertainment-based education system cultivated impressive competency among the students. Finally, their development initiatives have been successful due to the successful installation of report cards, school and home visits, and regular, rigorous evaluations. This study is grounded in a qualitative framework that combines the interpretivist and pragmatic schools of thought. A deductive strategy has been employed, grounded in human capital theory. Additionally, interviews, document analysis, and web surfing are all utilized in the case study. The information used in this study was extracted from primary and secondary sources. Hence, this study aims to address this gap in Bangladesh and to inform the country’s human capital development policy by providing fresh, unique, and highly effective insights based on the Japanese experience. |
