Yamagiwa:The women's dormitory will finally be renovated.It will be cleaner and will have more capacity.The percentage of female students is also increasing.Especially the architecture of the Faculty of Engineering and the former civil engineering system (Department of Geoengineering).Originally, there are many medical departments, and the proportion of girls is high in education.In the Faculty of Science, 300 out of 8 people were at my time, but now it is XNUMX%.

The number of girls in the Faculty of Agriculture is increasing, as the number of girls who are oriented toward agriculture has become prominent.In Kyoto, citizens support students generously.Especially, all female students are paying attention.You can enjoy a completely different atmosphere from being in Tokyo, and you can be independent of your parents, so I would like you to come.

Cormorant:Our students are like boys' students.Many students are full of challenge, curious, and want to do something.The biggest culture shock in my life is so many unique students that some graduates say that it was when they entered Joshigakuin.There were many students who were taken care of by Kyoto University two years ago, but last year there were not so many and it did not become a boom, but it responded to the special entrance examination and it seems that the momentum continues this year.Students talk about on-site lessons from various universities, but students do not reach out to information through the school.

It seems that the mainstream is to find joy in finding and entering open classes by yourself.While many students go on to universities in the metropolitan area, some students want to go far away, but sometimes parents give up because of external factors.I don't say much about it, but since I went to a cram school as an elementary school student and had to pay a private tuition fee for the next XNUMX years, I think that it puts a lot of financial burden on my parents.As a school, we are instructing students to keep their original interests as much as possible.When students set goals, they go straight toward them and scrape them off one by one.

But I don't know how they will be useful in the future.However, as with Dr. Yanagisawa, I don't get on when I say so much, so I'm careful about how to say it.

Yamagiwa:Is the student choosing a teacher or an academic title?

Usaki:It seems that the title of the academic discipline comes first, and from there you are interested in the research content and the teacher.

Yamagiwa:I think that both are necessary, but in the future academics, it is important that the teaching side and the learning side are one-on-one, so I think that the teacher will be very important.Therefore, we asked teachers who are doing interesting research at the Research Institute to make presentations and set up opportunities for dialogue with high school students (Kyoto University Research Center Symposium "Proposals from Kyoto"), and research by teachers who claim to be strangers. I am doing a "Kyoto University Weirdo Course" where entertainers are enthusiastic.

On the other hand, I also think that we need to create more and more people who want to learn under this teacher.Will high school students come if I do it in Tokyo?

Usaki:When I found it, I said "I".But I don't think we'll go together.There are places where I feel comfortable with what only I know.

Saito:At our school, there are children who were leaders in elementary school and children who had nothing to do with that, but in the former, we realized that not everyone needs to be a leader, so until then. Some children may notice abilities that they have not been aware of.That's not a bad thing, but what I'm a little worried about these days is that some students complain that they can't shine.The grades are shiny and it stands out no matter what you do, and it seems to mean that it's boring because both parents and children don't think it's amazing.

Of course, during the six years, some children will be willing to do it and others will not.I'm trying to get everyone to have a sense of self-affirmation.The school festival and the athletic meet will be run by the executive committee who ran for the school.Since there are many female teachers, I don't want to be too detailed or become a mother.It is necessary for teachers to be a barrier to overcome, but we are also careful not to interfere with students' free thinking.

I don't think the influence of mothers is as strong as that of boys.Some students are critical of the same sex and say something like "don't worry about that person", but I think that's the right growth.If you go to a rural area at university, you need to persuade your parents because most of the academics are in the local university when you are in Tokyo.The trump card at that time is often "because I go to the medical school".There must be some reason for parents to gradually separate their children. I think it's good to say, "I want to study under this teacher at this university."I also think that persuading parents will lead to the growth of children.I tell you that parents shouldn't stand up, but there are also examples of asking children to fulfill their wishes while saying "anywhere".

I want female students to have different strengths than male students.While I'm at a girls' school, I spend my time without being told "for a woman" or "for a woman", so when I say that in college or society, I need to be strong enough.Also, since marriage and childbirth always step on your career, you need to be reluctant to think that if you keep stepping on, you will be able to step forward someday, even if you think that you have stepped back.Without it, no work can be continued.I would like to acquire such strength and stubbornness while being protected by middle and high school students. The weakest point of honor students is that they can only think of 100 or XNUMX.
