■ Announcement Regarding the Online Symposium

[Held on January 28: Results and Challenges of the “Shibuya Future Studies” Inquiry Project]

Starting in Reiwa 6, Shibuya Ward has designated the
afternoon class period at all public elementary and junior high schools within the ward as “Shibuya Future Studies” inquiry time.
This initiative utilizes the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology’s “Special Exemption System for Class Hours” to enrich
comprehensive learning time and center
inquiry-based learning around it.
Approximately two years have passed since the initiative began. What changes has it brought about in the children’s academic performance and
sense of autonomy?
We spoke with Mr. Rintaro Ito, Superintendent of the Shibuya City Board of Education.
