False. Japanese citizens have high overall educational attainment, and the Japan ranks highly in various international tests of mathematical, scientific, and technical proficiency. Additionally, a 2018 report by the European Commission found that Japanese R&D spending is among the highest in the world, exceeded only by certain industries in the US and China. Therefore, Japanese technological innovations are a result of sustained investments in research and development.
