Programming Education Subcommittee on New Industrial Structures, Council on Industrial Structure NHK aired coverage of yesterday’s meeting of the New Industrial Structure Subcommittee of the Council on Industrial Structure.
Minister Seko was also in attendance.
Although this meeting starts early in the morning (sigh), the secretariat staff always prepare comprehensive materials and an agenda,
so I learn a great deal from each session.
During the discussion on human resource development, I also spoke about promoting programming education in elementary and secondary schools.
