In addition, we plan to share the operation status and experience of higher education, foreign student support, and lifelong education policies at major educational institutions such as the University of Tokyo, Japan Student Services Organization (JASSO), and Open University.

At Hachiyama Middle School and Takehaya Elementary School, we will observe educational activities and look at school education operation cases in Japan and the current status of policy promotion in the field, such as AI and digital education.
