Specifically, we are studying the sophistication of teacher training utilizing digital technology and the reform of working styles at school sites by digitizing school affairs. I would like to reflect this in the budget request for the 5th fiscal year.
Regarding teacher training, a bill has been submitted to the current Diet to abolish the system that requires renewal of teacher licenses every 10 years and to establish a new training system from April next year to ensure the improvement of qualifications. Therefore, the Promotion Headquarters will also consider measures to improve the digital skills of teachers.
