Minister Ogura, who is in charge of child policy, visited Toda City in Saitama Prefecture, which provides generous support for children who do not attend school. I showed my thoughts on the future.
Toda City in Saitama Prefecture provides learning support for children who do not attend school by utilizing the city's education center, vacant school classrooms, and the virtual space "Metaverse" on the Internet.
On the 16th, Mr. Ogura, Minister in Charge of the Declining Birthrate, visited an education center in Toda City and observed how children who find it difficult to go to school are learning.
After the inspection, Minister Ogura told reporters, "Despite the declining birthrate, the problem of refusal to attend school is becoming more serious year by year. Toda City's efforts will be expanded nationwide, and various measures will be taken to help children who find it difficult to go to school. In order to provide a place to stay, the government will present a menu and increase the number of local governments to choose from, and I would like to be able to take different measures for children who do not attend school.
