University students support learning while leaving school closed Shiga March 5, 14:51

As schools are closed due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection, Otsu City has opened classrooms for university students to teach children studying.

This classroom is open from March 3 at a company that supports student job hunting in Otsu City, calling on university students.

The classroom is a space that usually provides corporate information and keeps students and students from elementary school to high school for a fee.

On the 5th, five students from the first grade of elementary school to the third grade of junior high school gathered, checked body temperature, etc., and then learned from university students during job hunting.

A third-year junior high school boy said, "I'm sorry that I can't study at school in preparation for high school, but I can work hard because I can study with everyone here."

The mother, who entrusted her daughter to an elementary school student, said, "I was afraid that my school was going to be closed suddenly and I was worried about what to do with my job.

Ryuichi Takebayashi, the president of the company that organized the classroom, said, "I think it's hard for parents who can't take time off work, so I'm glad if I can help a little as a local company."
