Open a part-time high school cafeteria in Tokyo as a learning space New Corona May 17 7:15

Due to the influence of the new coronavirus, high school in Tokyo continues to be closed, and efforts are being made to open the school as a home for students who are concerned about the home environment and learning.

Ogikubo High School in Suginami Ward, Tokyo is a unit-based part-time high school. Although the school is still closed, we have begun efforts to open the dining room and library as learning spaces from the 15th onwards for students who have difficulty studying at home due to problems in the home environment. About 10 students visited this day, sitting at desks at intervals to prevent infectious diseases and studying mathematics using textbooks.

Schools in Tokyo have been closed all together since March, but there are not many students who have financial difficulties at home or have experience of school refusal in part-time high schools. Is that I started.

Professor Kawata, who is on consultation with the students, said, `` I started thinking that even students who were suffocated because they had no where to live could secure a place where they could spend a little peace of mind. There are really many students who want to talk with their teachers and friends, and I would like to carefully treat the students who have various stumbling blocks and difficulties as a school. "
