It's a known and specific problem, so natural English is
. . . they have to face the difficult problem of deciding what to do with their children's education.
Note also that the sentence assumes that all Japanese business people have children.

Sorry to bother you, but may I ask you another question related to this one?
I am not sure how to decide whether I should use "about" and "with." I'd really appreciate it if you could help me figure that out:)
