Hello, this is Kaburaki, GLI representative.
The other day,Held "Parent Study SessionThe theme of this year's event was "The World's Most Beautiful People". The theme of this year's event was"Global Perspectives on College Preparation and Examinations."It was.
The education and examinations of the parents' generation and those of today are not similar.However, we all tend to follow our own experiences. However, we all tend to follow what we have experienced.
The same applies to sports instruction and, in fact, to school teachers. TheThe biggest cause.Sense and Experience GuidanceIt is.
If you were constantly looking at theory and data and thinking about guidance, you would definitely notice changes in your surroundings!
I hope you realize that we are in a completely negative spiral, with parents who rely on us not being able to make decisions because we do not have the proper data,That is the purpose of this workshop.
Everyone tends to rely on their own experience. The first step is to realize this.andWhat is Education?"Working to prepare for the future that will soon come."It is.
Now for the parents."Ability to envision the future."is necessary. This is another message that GLI is constantly sending out.
If parents think that education is what their children will need in the future, they should prepare them for it; if they think that global skills are what they will need in the future, they should prepare them for them.
Naturally, the GLIthe latterIt is.The World at LargeIt is changing, or already largelyIt has changed.That is why we are providing information to prepare for this in the form of parent workshops.
The theme of this year's event isWhere are the schools of higher education that can really provide a global education? If it is not in Japan, we have to expand our search overseas," he said.
Familiarity with global education schoolsGuest speaker Manabu Murata of International School TimesWe had the opportunity to introduce Japanese global education schools from boarding schools overseas.
The focus of attention is the Harrow Abbey School, which will open in 2022, which Mr. Murata is also involved in establishing! It is a Japanese school of a prestigious British boarding school.
The rugby school, which was also scheduled to open in 2022, has been postponed by one year, but foreign boarding schools are certainly coming to Japan.
What is the reason for this? I think that,This is a growing demand and a growing awareness of whether Japanese education will be sufficient in these uncertain times in the Corona. In these uncertain times in Corona, I think it is a growing awareness of the question, "Will Japanese education be good enough for us?I guess.
In fact, GLI has been receiving an increasing number of requests to go to boarding schools overseas, and last year we brought five students to the Eaton Harrow Japan Office for interviews.
It is very unfortunate that the movement has stopped in Corona, but if you open it, it will probablyThe number of students going on to boarding schools abroad will increase dramatically.I expect things to happen. When we talk about this kind of thing,
Why is boarding school abroad a good idea?
I think you will be interested in the following. It is mainly characteristic of British schools,
[Reason #1Education for the whole person. In other words, it is an education that requires total human ability,The very form of education that Japan is pursuing todayThe following is a list of the most common reasons for the change.
[Reason #2To develop a sense of independence by leaving the parental home at an early stage.In the Japanese educational environment where students remain with their parents until they graduate from high school, the development of independence tends to be delayed.
To repeat self-determination on a daily basis away from the protection and control of parents,You'll be ready to live on your own sooner or later.It can be said.
[Reason #3Networking that is difficult to obtain in Japanese schoolsare available. People from all over the world come to local schools, especially in England.
Gathering from Asia, America, the Middle East, and of course Europe.The TOP of TOP diversity and human networking is a value that cannot be replaced by money for the children who will live in the world in the future.Isn't it?
Finally, Mr. Murata commented,
I believe that boarding schools can also solve the problems of the modern Japanese educational environment. The problem is that children are educated only within the nuclear family. The relationship between parents and children is too strong. I think boarding schools are a solution to the problem of overcrowded parent-child relationships.
and. Boarding schools originally originated in England and began as a system in which aristocrats entrusted their education to professionals.
If you raise your children until they reach the upper grades of elementary school, you have done your job as a parent. Why don't you leave the education of junior high and high school students to professionals? That's what I said.
Mr. Murata said that by seeing things from a distance and involving parents and children with a good sense of distance, some of the issues we have been facing can be resolved. We were given a perspective that we had not seen before.
As times change, so do education and educational methods.
Is an educational environment that is attached to the child until high school really good for the child? Is the current education system based on scores really good enough for children?
Why not consider boarding school as a solution to the problems of parent-child relationships in Japan and as a way to kill two birds with one stone in global education?
There are many boarding schools being established as school corporations in Japan, so please contact us through GLI's "official line".
