What are you doing in high school?

Hello, this is Kaburaki, GLI representative.

 

Graduates celebrated their graduation ceremony about a month early due to the coronavirus. What are you thinking and doing at home right now?

 

Are you studying hard at home as your school teacher says? Or...

 

Well. I would like to ask you all to do something that I hope you will do with this enormous amount of time you have available to you.

 

that isWhy are you going on to higher education?"That is to say.

 

Why do you go to high school?

Because everyone else is going? Because your parents want you to go? If I don't at least go to high school? For those who answer yes, I have a further question.

 

Why do you also go to high school when everyone else goes?

 

Why do you go when your parents tell you to go?

 

In this day and age, going to high school doesn't give you any advantage! You have been given time.

 

Now, think about it.

 

Why do you go to high school?"

I would like to share with you a few tips on how to think about

 

You have to have at least a high school education. 、、、、、 This kind of language was often used in the past.

 

That is now the case that a college degree has to be earned, but the same can be said for a university.

 

Just because you have a college degree does not give you an advantage in the future in this day and age.

 

Because now the percentage of students who go on to college is now60%.The reason is that the number of

 

The era in which these expressions made sense was, yes, the era of the 'academic society'.

 

Japan's population is still growing steadily, GDP is increasing proportionally, and consumption and economic activities are still sufficient only within Japan.
This was a time when the

 

In this era, once you get a job at a company, you can work there for the rest of your life.The Era of "Lifetime Employmentand salary and position increases with age regardless of individual performance.The Age of SeniorityIt was.

 

The qualities required to obtain a job at that time were, in other wordsThe factor that makes it easier to find a job is "education.It was.

 

It was easy to get a job depending on what kind of university you went to. If you wanted to become a bureaucrat, you went to the University of Tokyo! As evidenced by the fact that many famous companies of the time hired people who had graduated from the University of Tokyo, academic backgrounds were the handbill for getting a job.

 

But now it is different.

（It is (almost) a society of complete competence.

 

Of course, there is nothing wrong with being well educated, but the question that is required in this meritocracy is.What can you do?"The question is.

 

The question is not "what school did you graduate from?" (what school did you graduate from?).

 

Now, think about it.What can you do now?

 

Can you do programming, which is an essential skill in the coming age?
Do you speak English?
Do you have leadership?
Are you creative?
Do you have the toughness to take a little bit of punishment?
Do you have the ability to execute?
Do you have communication skills?

 

And most importantly,Can you prove that you have those abilities?

 

I mean, what makes you assert that you have those qualities? I mean.

 

If you simply claim, 'I have leadership,' no one will believe you.

 

If you don't show proof of this, no one will believe you.

 

And the most important questions areWhat do you want to do?"It is.

 

In other words,'What issues in society do you want to solve?'The question is whether you can answer the question.

 

What is it that you want to do and why do you want to work for our company? Without a clear answer to this question, it is now difficult to obtain a job.

 

When you think about it,What did you come into our high school to do?Don't you think the same question is asked of us?

 

If you have a clear objective now, ok! Please push forward to achieve it.

 

If you don't have one, please think again.

 

'What was it that I wanted to do that made me decide to go to this high school?'And.

 

The reality is that once high school begins, we are busy again, and we don't have time to think about these questions that we can't seem to answer.

 

But the purpose of going to high school. It is no exaggeration to say that this is the engine of all high school life.

 

The horsepower of the activity is different for those who have it and those who don't.

 

Do we somehow spend three years and then face this question again two years and a few months later?

 

Or,Do you have a clear purpose for your senior year of high school, and can the activity lead you to the next step and sustain more power to take you to the next stage?

 

This difference is really significant.

 

The world is certainly changing. Society is certainly changing along with it.

 

I think you just need to ask someone just one question to see whether or not.

 

Why do you go to high school?"That question alone will make all the difference in your high school experience. We promise.
