Meeting on Programming Education with Members of the Information Processing Society of Japan

Following a lecture I gave at Keidanren, I was contacted by Professor Katsumi Emura, President of the Information Processing Society of Japan, and held a meeting with members of the Society to discuss programming education. Everyone participated online.
If a massive, highly specialized organization like the Information Processing Society of Japan were to support programming education nationwide more than ever before, Japan—though currently behind other countries—could become the world’s leading nation in programming. I look forward to our future collaboration.
By the way, we also conduct online training sessions on programming education for school teachers (*^^*)
