Full-scale introduction of "distance lessons" at small high schools Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology September 30, 4:53
The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has started full-scale "distance lessons" by connecting online with high schools in urban areas so that students of small high schools such as mountainous areas can receive guidance according to various subjects and proficiency levels. We have decided to introduce the system.
According to the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, there are 146 high schools with only one class per grade in the last year's survey, mainly in mountainous areas and remote islands. Although appropriate guidance is required, it is not fully responded to due to the limited number of teachers.
For this reason, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has fully introduced "distance lessons" that connect online with high schools in urban areas so that small high school students can receive guidance according to various subjects and proficiency levels. We have decided to do so, and have included approximately 800 million yen in the budget request for the next fiscal year as expenses to be implemented at 30 locations nationwide from next year.
In addition, the cost of introducing a digital textbook that incorporates the contents of a paper textbook into a tablet terminal into one subject in the fifth and sixth grades of elementary school and two subjects in all grades of junior high school is approximately 5 billion yen. It is included.
