Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Hagita asks the Private Kindergarten Association to clarify the whole picture
On the other hand, Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Hagita asked the federation to clarify the whole picture, saying that although it is not an organization under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, it is never desirable for society to raise doubts.
Regarding the "All Japan Private Kindergarten Federation," which has approximately 7,500 private kindergartens nationwide, it has become clear that at least 400 million yen has been unclear in the four years up to this year.
Regarding this, Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Hagita said at the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Committee of the House of Representatives, "Because it is a voluntary organization, we cannot give guidance or advice under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, but as a ministry responsible for early childhood education, there are some doubts from society. I would like you to make an effort to clarify the whole picture, "he said, and asked the federation to clarify the whole picture.
In addition, while asked if there was a structure of adhesion between the federation and the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, "The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology had a disappointing situation such as having a meal from the company side four years ago. It has happened and many executives have been punished. I don't want to think that there are staff members doing the same thing, but I would like to firmly maintain and manage the rules within the ministry. "
