Public junior high school's purpose?

I attended a meeting to think about public compulsory education school. Teachers,Principals and parents came together and school consultant(my coworker) lectured that we found serious gap between what teachers lecture in public schools and what is tested in entrance exam of high rank universities,investigating the entrance exam. So students and parents are anxious about preparing for entrance exam and change the school from public to private school or go to cram school after school.That trend makes public school's atmosphere confusion and disorder.And we now think and do to reform public school(esp junior high school).And we and participants sampled real test and discussed about those theme. That was very helpful meeting.
