In the national achievement test held in April, it was found that the answers of 4 junior high school students in Natori City, Miyagi Prefecture, were lost and could not be scored. It is likely that it was disposed of as waste, and the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has apologized to the parents and said that it will test again for those who wish.

The answer sheet had the class and attendance number written on it, but not the name of the school or name.
