Kyōiku kanji

The kyōiku kanji (教育漢字; literally "education kanji") are kanji which Japanese elementary school students should learn from first through sixth grade. Also known as gakushū kanji (学習漢字; literally "learning kanji"), these kanji are listed on the Gakunenbetsu kanji haitō hyō (学年別漢字配当表(ja); literally "table of kanji by school year"). The table is developed and maintained by the Japanese Ministry of Education (MEXT). Although the list is designed for Japanese students, it can also be used as a sequence of learning characters by non-native speakers as a means of focusing on the most commonly used kanji.

Kyōiku kanji are a subset (1,026) of the 2,136 characters of jōyō kanji.
