Learning of Tomorrow It’s Complete! “The Cutting Edge of Online Education in Japan: Thinking About Learning in the Post-COVID Era” The finished book arrived today (*^^*)—just before the online lunch symposium!
This book is an attempt to document the efforts of local governments, schools, the private sector, and parents during the COVID-19 pandemic. Driven by a shared, strong determination to “keep children learning!”—many people worked together across organizational boundaries, doing their very best through a process of trial and error. We hope this book will contribute to the development of education in the post-pandemic era.
