■About the usage of copyrighted work in the education field.
In cases where we contact to right holders in overseas, most of the cases are regarding the use in the education fields.
Many works are used as learning materials for high school students and university students in Japan. Especially the usages of copyrighted works are in "entrance examinations" for many schools and institutes and also those contents are used as learning materials in many ways.
Under Japanese Copyright Law, Article 36 stipulates the following use of examination problems.
copyright low Article 36“Reproduction, etc. as examination questions”)
Article 36 (1) It is permissible to reproduce a work that has been made public as a question on an entrance examination or other examination or in an official certification of knowledge or skills, to the extent that this is found to be necessary for such purpose, and to transmit to the public such a question (except in a broadcast or cablecast; however, it is permissible to make such a question available for transmission, if it is to be transmitted to the public via automatic public transmission; the same applies in next paragraph); provided, however, that this does not apply if transmitting such a question to the public would unreasonably prejudice the interests of the copyright owner in light of the nature and the purpose of the work as well as the circumstances of the transmission.

When using the copyrighted work for the specific purpose for entrance examinations, those material can be used without obtaining permissions of the right holders by the rule of the above-mentioned law in Japan, however when creating the learning materials, it is necessary to be approved the permissions from right holders.
