I know that some kanji are educational and others are general use, with
kyouiku (1006 characters) learned in grades 1-6 included in jouyou (2136
characters). What is the other set of kanji (1136 characters) learned in
grades 7-12 called?

What are the names for the sets of kanji taught in secondary schools?
As far as I know there is no official name for the characters outside the
prescribed kyouiku kanji list but inside the jouyou kanji list.

In addition, there are only guidelines for teaching the rest of the
characters, rather than strict amounts per year. These guidelines are called
中学校学習指導要領 (Junior High School educational curriculum guidelines), as below:

Actually the 2136 jouyou kanji are all taught by the end of junior high
school:

  * JHS 1st year (Year 7) - approx **1400** kanji learned (including kyouiku)
  * JHS 2nd year (Year 8) - approx **1800** kanji learned (including kyouiku)

  * JHS 3rd year (Year 9) - **2136** kanji learned (all jouyou kanji)

Depending on the textbook used (which varies), the order of the kanji learned
will also be different. Jinmeiyou kanji are generally nor taught officially in
JHS or SHS, but they are common enough that students are exposed to them
regularly and would be able to at least read many of them by the end of year
12.

In 2020, the kyouiku kanji list will be updated to the 学年別漢字配当表 , which will
include an additional 20 characters, bringing the total of characters learned
in elementary school to 1026.
