Learning of Tomorrow [Tomorrow] The 55th Online Symposium: “Rethinking the Structural Transformation of Public Education, Starting with the Question, ‘What Is the Purpose of Education in the First Place?’” Tomorrow's "Learning of Tomorrow" Online Symposium will feature Kazunori Tomano, Associate Professor at Kumamoto University's Faculty of Education and a philosopher of education.
The landscape of education is changing rapidly day by day. Amid these changes, what should schools and education look like in the future? And, fundamentally, what constitutes “good” education?Mr. Tomano, who views the GIGA School Initiative not so much as a new model for schools but rather as a means of creating a learning environment that enables the most “natural” form of learning for children, will deliver a talk titled “A Structural Transformation of Public Education: Starting with the Question, ‘What Is the Purpose of Education?’”
We hope you'll join us.
