Learning of Tomorrow Report on the Online Symposium: “New Perspectives and Challenges for Educational Transformation: Sony Global Education” Today's Learning of Tomorrow Online Lunch Symposium featured President Isozu of Sony Global Education as our guest.
Sony, whose mission is “To fill the world with wonder through the power of creativity and technology,”
Since our founding, we have believed that “fostering children’s creativity and enhancing science education are what Japan needs most,” and we have devoted significant effort to education.
Within the Sony Group, which has 1,300 subsidiaries, Sony Global Education is the only company specializing in education.
Guided by the belief that “most school-related issues can be resolved through acceptance of diversity and individuality,” we are striving not only to develop products and services but also to “create educational infrastructure.”
Sony Global Education's business code is ABCDR!
AI, Blockchain, Coding Education, Data Analytics, Robotics.
He gave a comprehensive overview of Sony Global Education’s business, including initiatives that use AI to analyze big data on academic performance and learning progress held by local governments to support individual students’ learning and career paths, as well as the development of online learning systems tailored specifically for education.
President Isozu points out, “While the trend of incorporating technology into education has been spreading worldwide since 2010, Japan has not even reached the starting line yet.”
I’m looking forward to seeing Sony Global Education show us how Japan, starting from the back of the pack, will surge ahead, and I’ll continue to cheer them on (*^^*)
And I look forward to the day when Japan is filled with people who inspire the world through creativity and technology.
