Simply, Japanese public schools do not employ janitors. Our education system, and the general citizen believe that having students clean the school serves to teach respect and responsibility. Not wearing your outdoor shoes in the school helps to maintain the cleanliness of the school. Because of this, we do not learn to have contempt for the custodial worker as often seen in other countries, we learn not to see ourselves as being above such work. The removal of the shoes helps, this is also why we do it at home. However, at home it is more based on not damaging tatami and bamboo flooring.

Also, it creates a uniform look among the students, especially in schools that require student uniforms. Another bonus to this, is it preserves the life of our outdoor shoes.. they definitely last longer because we only wear them to and from school and on the weekends. Unless a student that is in Middle and High school decides to also attend the classes and activities available at schools during the weekend.
