I think it might be better to append the thread to
Japanese Culture.

Yes.
1 hi / i
2 hu / ni / ji
3 mi / sa
4 yo / shi
5 go
6 mu / ro
7 na
8 ya / ha
9 ko / ku
0 re / o
square root 5 = 2.2360679 , therefore you can remember as
ふじ さんろく おうむ なく (a parrot sings at the foot of Mt. Fuji)
The same method can be used to memorise historical events:
にちろせんそう へいし たりない
ひとくれよ
(Japan-Russo War, we need more the soldiers, give us men / 1904)
Besides, such technique is often applied to non-decimal data.
For ionisation tendency,
かそうかな まぁ あて に すんな ひどすぎる しゃっきん
(Should I loan to him money? Anyway I cannot trust him; the debt amount is too bad)
K > Ca > Na > Mg > Al > Zn > Fe > Ni > Sn > Pb > H > Cu > Hg > Ag > Pt > Au
Can you tell what it means?
ポチはん ゆるして ブルブル あるよ
Hint: Po - Cz - Hun - Yu - Ro - Bul - Al
However I think students in other countries employ similar techniques; otherwise, how can they remember?

You know the answer. It is unimaginable that every school in a state holding more than 120 millions population is equally enjoyable. And Japanese schools (or the whole society) have innumerable bad aspects as well as good ones. But it is fact that many adult people have precious memories for the days of their school-lives so that anime producers draw them beautifully.

In model cases elementary schools commence at 8:30 and end at 15:30, with lunch time break of 12:00-13:00 and cleaning time 13:00-13:20. The temporal unit of classes is 45 minutes with 5 minutes break. So, as you see, pupils have 6 classes a day. Jr.- and high schools offer 7 or 8 classes of 50 minutes a day, with shorter lunch-time break (30-40 minutes), and the ending time is around 17:00.
