Earlier, on the 8th, the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology announced that five textbook publishers for junior high school social studies and high school geography and history would apply for revisions of expressions such as 'military comfort women' and 'forced mobilization.' Accordingly, 'military comfort women' was replaced with 'comfort women,' excluding 'military,' which implies military involvement, and 'forced mobilization' was changed to expressions like forced recruitment or conscription.
