With the issue of how to respect the independence of children by lowering the adult age, a symposium was held in which fathers and educators participated to think about the ideal way of education in the future.

This symposium was held by the NPO "Oyaji Japan", which is working to support fathers' child-rearing, and about 100 people gathered at the venue in Shibuya Ward, Tokyo, and it was also distributed on the Internet.

First, Yuichi Kudo, who is known for reforms such as the abolition of regular tests when he was the principal of a public junior high school in Tokyo, gave a lecture, "Data that Japanese children have low self-affirmation have come out in multiple surveys. Instead of focusing solely on improving test performance, we must develop the ability of children to think about what to learn and how to learn. "

After that, a panel discussion was held with education experts, etc. "The society is too concerned about the eyes around us. Education must be changed." "Ingenuity of teaching materials to reach the hearts of children." Is necessary. "



A man in his 80s who attended the symposium said, "Since the situation surrounding children changes greatly with the times, we adults also have to reform our consciousness."
