Chiba Prefecture's ordinance, which specializes in supporting children who do not attend school, was passed and enacted as the first prefecture in Japan, and we are promoting the strengthening of cooperation between schools and free schools in order to secure educational opportunities. .
The ordinance stipulates the roles of the government, schools, free schools, etc. in order to support children and students who do not attend school.
In addition, the goal is not only to have children who do not attend school go to school, but to allow various ways of receiving education and aim for independence in the future.
On top of that, the school will continue to monitor the situation of children and students, support them in choosing various educational opportunities, and if they use a free school, the school and the free school will work closely together.
The ordinance was passed and enacted at the prefectural assembly on the 10th of this month, and according to the prefectural board of education, it is the first time in Japan that a prefectural ordinance specializing in supporting children who do not attend school has been enacted.
