Turkey is not included in the classification of Europe by the Japanese Ministry of Education (MEXT). For schools in Turkey see the school template for Southwest Asia.
Shiritsu zaigai kyōiku shisetsu are overseas branches of Japanese schools; these are boarding and day schools and the only Japanese educational schools in Europe which provide sixth form/senior high school level education. Nihonjin gakkō are day schools operated by Japanese associations and only include primary and junior high school levels.
MEXT categorizes Japanese sections of European international schools as hoshū jugyō kō part-time schools and not as full-time schools. See the template for part-time schools.
