Today was a meeting of the Parliamentary League on ICT in Education.
We also discussed this morning’s NHK News report titled “Digital Textbooks to Be Introduced Within Four Years.”
The section chief from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology explained, “That’s a premature report. We’re currently reviewing the matter and plan to release an interim report around summer.”
