Report on the 1st “Meta School Open House” Working Group Meeting

Here’s a report on the presentations from the first half of the “Meta School Open House” Working Group meeting held the other day. We held discussions with Principal Yanagisawa of Kaisei High School, President Deguchi of APU, Department Chair Inakage of KMD, President Nakamura of iU, Professor Okajima of Chuo University, Principal Naito of Zero High School, Mr. Sakuma of N High School, and others.I served as the moderator. During the second half of the discussion, President Deguchi and Principal Yanagisawa just kept talking and talking. I wish I could convey just how passionate they were! I’ll write a report on that as well when I have some free time.
We’ve also already begun preparing concrete action items. I’ll report on those at a later date as well.
