Holiday club activity guidance Transition to the area is in each place

Efforts and studies to shift the guidance of club activities on holidays to the region have already begun in various places.

In Kagoshima and Tokushima prefectures, we dispatch external human resources to model schools after coordinating with private sports organizations.

Depending on the region, it is expected that each teacher will reduce working hours by about 15 hours a month, but in some cases it is not possible to secure external human resources and the teachers of the model school advisors will also give guidance on holidays. ..

Assuming that sports clubs will take charge of guidance in Oita Prefecture as well, we will set up a review committee for each municipality in the future to consider the transition schedule.
