According to the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, the number of elementary and junior high school students and high school students nationwide reached a record high of more than 160,000, while some of them are receiving "classroom guidance" in a separate room while studying in regular classes due to developmental disabilities. I found out in the survey.
"Class guidance" is for children and students who are not good at reading and writing or who have difficulty building interpersonal relationships, usually enrolled in regular classes and take some classes in different classrooms depending on their disabilities.
According to a survey by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, the number of elementary and junior high school students and high school students nationwide receiving class guidance was 164,693 in the second year of Reiwa, the highest number ever.
Although the survey method has changed, the number has increased by 100,000 since 10 years ago, and the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology believes that the background is the increase in children with developmental disabilities and the increased awareness of class guidance. I am.
The breakdown of disabilities is that language disorders are the most common in 43,632, ADHD = attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder in 33,825, and autism in 32,346.
On the other hand, in high schools where the "classroom guidance" system started four years ago, the number of subjects who did not receive guidance reached 1,100, and the most common cases were "the person or guardian did not wish". There were also cases where "the supervisor could not be secured" or "the timetable could not be adjusted".
Based on the current situation, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has a policy of considering countermeasures at a meeting of experts and compiling a report within the fiscal year.
