- The University of Tokyo: “Theory of Educational System Design”
Later today, I’ll be here. I’ll be speaking in the “Theory of Educational System Design” course at the University of Tokyo’s Graduate School of Information Science and Technology, where I graduated.
The topic for this class is: “If you were transported to a parallel universe where the current University of Tokyo did not exist, what kind of educational system would you create in that world?”
I’d like to discuss this with everyone and then put it into practice.
