Holiday club activities are local activities To improve the system to reduce the burden on teachers Ministry of Education August 31, 11:45
In order to reduce the burden on teachers who have problems with long working hours, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has established a mechanism that teachers do not have to be involved by making club activities on holidays local activities, and three years later We have put together a reform plan that will be implemented in stages.
According to the reform proposal compiled by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, club activities have a different meaning from classes through sports and arts, but they are a factor and burden of long working hours for teachers, and students can receive desirable guidance. There are times when it is not.
For this reason, the reform plan states that club activities are not necessarily required to be handled by teachers, and when club activities are conducted on holidays, teachers who do not want to do so do not have to be involved in teaching.
Specifically, club activities on holidays are defined as "regional activities" as local activities, and a system managed and managed by groups such as local sports clubs has been established. Will be implemented nationwide.
For this reason, in the future, while proceeding with research based on specific cases in the region, we will consider a mechanism to secure local human resources who will be teaching teachers such as retired teachers and measures to reduce the cost burden of parents, as well as holidays. For those teachers who wish to receive guidance, we will arrange the ways in which they can work concurrently so that they can be given guidance by the management organization.
This reform plan mainly targets public junior high schools, and the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology intends to implement similar measures in high schools.
