Learning of Tomorrow Online Symposium Begins

The Learning of Tomorrow Association’s Online Lunch Symposium is about to begin.
For the first session, we’ll be hearing from Rie Hirakawa, Superintendent of Education, about Hiroshima Prefecture’s online education initiatives.
We initially planned to limit attendance to 100 people and sent out advance invitations to relevant parties, but the event filled up within an hour. As a result, we had to quickly upgrade our Zoom plan, so we’re sharing this update with you.

The first half will consist of a presentation, and the second half will be a discussion, so we look forward to seeing participants who are eager to ask questions and share their opinions (*^^*)

As school closures continue to be extended nationwide and local governments implement a variety of measures, we will hear about Hiroshima Prefecture’s efforts to secure cloud accounts for all elementary and secondary school students in the prefecture and respond with a sense of urgency.
