"I want to study again" "I have something I want to learn from now on"
After starting to work as a member of society, many people may think of opportunities to relearn such thoughts.
In 2015, the government proposed "a society where everyone can continue to learn even after going out into society."It is necessary to break through the conventional model of "university = 18-year-old admission" in Japan, and declares that working people will continue to have a desire to learn and strengthen the re-learning function to acquire new abilities. ..
To implement this, the government will support the learning of working adults, such as the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology establishing a certification system for programs for re-learning of working adults.We aim to double the number of working adults who are re-learning from 5 to 12 over the next five years.
It also supports re-learning to contribute to the success of women, and is seeking to create an environment where working people can easily learn not only at universities and vocational schools but also at companies.
Future career image looking at while raising children
Since 2007, the rate of taking childcare leave for women who gave birth during their tenure has remained in the 80% range, reaching 2015% in 81.5.The average age of first childbirth was 2015 years in 30.7, an increase of 1985 years from 26.7 years in 30 in 4 years.There is an analysis result that learning that is conscious of the career after childcare leave is spreading along with such a phenomenon.
MK, who worked for a foreign-affiliated company, raised her 3-year-old daughter and studied design at the Department of Arts and Sciences, Kyoto University of the Arts. If you can use the Internet, you can study "Tehira Geidai" without going to school.
"I was surprised at the practical learning. I watched the video early in the morning, read the text on my smartphone during my commute, and summarized the report in the middle of the night.
MK brilliantly obtained a university graduation qualification, and at the same time as graduating, he changed jobs and succeeded in improving his career. "I want to learn professional design again when my daughter grows up a little," she enthuses.It must have been a great pleasure to find an environment where I can learn with an awareness of the future without taking childcare leave as a handicap.
We also have a campus in Meijijingu Gaien so that we can learn from all over the country.

Embodying "If you are motivated, you can learn no matter how old you are", set the Guinness World Records
Shigemi Hirata, who graduated from Kyoto University of the Arts in March 2016, holds a Guinness World Record.It was recognized as the oldest person who graduated from school, and the record is "3 years old and 96 days", which is surprising.
Mr. Hirata was born in Hiroshima Prefecture in 1919 and started attending a ceramic art class after retirement. In 2005, he enrolled in the ceramic art course of the Correspondence Education Department of Kyoto University of the Arts, saying "I want to improve my ceramic art skills".It was an event at the age of 85.It took 11 years to graduate, but he not only said, "I enjoyed talking with younger generations and teachers because I had schooling while doing correspondence education," but also "graduate school when I was over 100 years old." I'd like to challenge myself, "he even left a positive comment.
It can be said that it proved that there is an environment where you can learn as long as you are motivated, no matter how old you are, as "lifelong learning".
Challenge yourself without limiting yourself, such as "because I have children" or "because I am already a good age".
Keeping the motivation to enjoy youth forever.
Because it is an era where everyone can be connected via the Internet, there is an environment in which people can shine by making use of new values and outlooks on life.The door to learning is open to everyone for the rich life of insatiable curiosity and aspirations.
