In response to this situation, it was found that the prefectural board of education issued a notice to each prefectural school on the 23rd.
In this, we request that you verify from the perspectives of multiple faculty and staff, such as whether there are unnecessary contents or items in the school rules, and pay sufficient attention to whether the contents and expressions are in consideration of human rights such as personal dignity and privacy. I am.
In addition, when reviewing school rules, we are also looking for ideas that allow students and parents to participate.
