“The Future of Education,” to be held on October 20

Next week's Learning of Tomorrow Online Symposium will feature Professor Noriyuki Yanagawa of the University of Tokyo, who has served as an expert member of the Council on Economic and Fiscal Policy, among other roles.

Professor Yanagawa, who has an unusual background—having never attended school from the time he graduated from middle school until he entered graduate school—shares his thoughts on…

We hope you'll join us.
