Mnemonic

授業 jugyou — kanji "to confer (授) + work/task (業)" = "the giving of instruction". The verb 授ける (sazukeru) carries a ceremonial nuance — 学位を授ける ("to confer a degree"). 業 (gyou) is a core kanji for occupation/task: 工業 (industry), 商業 (commerce), 農業 (agriculture), 企業 (enterprise). School-life cluster: 出席 (attendance), 欠席 (absence), 休講 (class cancelled).
