Many public junior high schools in the prefecture are temporarily closed for more than two months until the end of last month due to the new coronavirus, and there is concern that classes may be delayed.
For this reason, the Prefectural Board of Education conducted a questionnaire survey last month for more than 6,000 junior high school third-year students who wish to take the examination in order to examine the scope of questions for the public high school entrance examination next year.
As a result, 73.8% replied that they were worried about their learning activities after school was restarted.
In addition, when asked by multiple answers that they were worried, the coverage of the entrance examination was 48.9%, which was nearly half, and the progress of the class was 54.7%.
For this reason, the Prefectural Board of Education has established a policy of partially reducing the scope of math questions for the "feature selection" to be conducted in February next year, prior to the general selection.
Considering the scope of questions for other subjects and general selection in March next year, I decided to make a decision at the Board of Education on 11th of this month, and Mr. Yoshida said, ``We will respond promptly to eliminate anxiety of students as much as possible. I want to do it."
