Three years ago, in Tokorozawa City, Saitama Prefecture, the city published a research report stating that it was difficult to identify the cause of suicide when a boy in the first year of junior high school committed suicide, and apologized for the student's suicide. He said, "I take it as an issue for all elementary and junior high schools and want to realize an education that does not abandon even one person."
In July 2018, the city's third-party committee, which was investigating the cause of the problem of suicide by a first-year male student attending a junior high school in Tokorozawa City, compiled a report and released it on the 23rd.
In the report, "it is difficult to identify the cause of suicide," and the feeling of obstruction in school life, criticism of adult society, and guidance from the homeroom teacher overlapped, and hopes for the future are sharp. It is believed that he was lost and chose to commit suicide without being able to consult with his family and friends.
He points out that the lessons learned from the messages left by the students are the question of how to change future educational activities.
Mikio Oiwa, the superintendent of the Tokorozawa City Board of Education, apologized for the student's suicide and said that the survey results were "taken as an issue for all elementary and junior high schools in the city, and he closely followed the children and students and abandoned even one. I want to realize no education. "
On the other hand, the student's father commented on the report, "In the report, we can see that there are many problems left in the school, including the guidance of the homeroom teacher. There is also a problem in the method of investigating the cause, and there is room for reconsideration. I'm talking.
