The text books cover "the basics" but everything during the WWII time period isn't gone over until the semester is close to ending. A lot of the atrocities are left out of lessons and text books and many deny them which is why a lot of youth today don't fully understand the hatred China and S.K have for Japan.
But, they do also contain brief information on why the opposing country at the time felt the way they did or what the original issue was.
Honestly what is covered regarding the war depends on which district or prefecture the school is in. My friend and I attended an international school so we got the full history lessons but our other friends from different schools didn't go over the specifics of WWII.
