Katsushika-ku, Tokyo rushed to investigate the number and amount of nursery schools that were mistakenly paid, saying that they had accidentally paid more subsidies to privately licensed daycare centers for four years than they should actually pay. The policy is to ask for a return.
According to Katsushika City, a subsidy that pays up to about 100,000 yen per person per month to a private licensed nursery school that hired part-time nursery teachers, etc., is more than the amount actually paid for 4 years. It was discovered in March that there was an error in the payment.
According to the ward, the subsidy was calculated using the spreadsheet software sheet created by the staff from 2018, but the calculation formula was wrongly set to double the number of target nursery teachers at the maximum. It means that it was.
The sheet was used for four years without being checked by other staff.
There are 87 privately licensed daycare centers in Katsushika Ward, many of which receive this subsidy, and the ward hastened to investigate the number and amount of daycare centers that were mispaid, and sent them to the target daycare centers. The policy is to ask for a return.
Katsushika City says, "I deeply regret having caused such a situation, consider measures to prevent recurrence, and discuss how to return the nursery school without significantly affecting the operation of the nursery school."
