On the 28th, a Tokyo school counselor whose employment was terminated due to the upper limit on reappointment visited the Diet Building in Tokyo and submitted a request to the national government representative requesting that the upper limit be lifted.
The request requests guidance from the Tokyo metropolitan government, stating that school counselors need long-term employment in order to build relationships of trust with children and parents.
Additionally, we request that evaluations from the schools where they worked be taken into account when taking public recruitment exams.
A woman whose employment was terminated said, ``Some of the children started crying when I told them I was quitting.It takes time to interact with children and determine what kind of problems they have, and if everything is stopped midway through, it would be detrimental to the children.'' ” he said.
