Education in Japan has boasted the world's highest level of educational practice with a small budget. However, the reality of concern has become clear. In order for Japan to maintain its vigorous productivity, it is now required to exert more potential than ever before. The power of education is indispensable for demonstrating its potential. Some power is needed to survive in the modern society of globalization and advanced information technology. In general, it means "(1) act autonomously, (2) use tools interactively, and (3) play a role in a highly heterogeneous group." In order to equip children with these abilities, teachers are required to have a certain level of advanced skills.
Education in the future is based on ICT, which is the global trend. Education in Japan is behind this trend. South Korea is also becoming more digital in the field of education. This country provides a large amount of digital content for teachers free of charge. South Korea understands that even if it is equipped with only ICT equipment, it is useless if it cannot be used effectively. In order to make full use of ICT in the field, it has a system in which support for teachers is indispensable. Full-time support staff are assigned to assist in the operation of digital devices and the effective use of digital teaching materials. Unfortunately, Japan is behind in this regard. Tablets, etc. are now distributed one by one. However, in the case of Japan, the tablet was just handed over, and its use is not progressing. Mastery is required to utilize digital equipment. It is almost impossible to master it alone. It can be said that smooth use is not possible without the guidance of support staff.
Money is needed to improve local education. The cost of hiring a lawyer, the cost of hiring a club leader, the cost of hiring an ICT supporter, and so on, cannot be covered by national costs alone. It is necessary to enrich the region. You can also reduce staff and increase your budget. You can also attract factories and thermal power plants to villages and towns to collect rich taxes. Shinchi Town in Fukushima Prefecture receives a lot of taxes from thermal power plants. The money is used for ICT equipment and support staff at municipal elementary and junior high schools. We want to make effective use of local resources and enrich the region both financially and mentally.
