WEB press conference held Talking about the thoughts of establishment
On November 11, an online press conference was held to open the school.The first part was attended by Mikio Hoshino, President of Managara, Tomio Ikoma, President of With us, and Takashi Ano, Project Leader of the establishment of managara.President Hoshino said, "We want to develop human resources who can contribute to society widely, such as human resources who support local communities and human resources who aim to start a business. We will provide new learning with the latest technology that eliminates time, space, and economic constraints." Mr. Ikoma said, "When I opened a correspondence high school in 12, I found that there are students who can become motivated by increasing the degree of freedom in learning. This time, I would like to provide it on the stage of university. I have been discussing with the people concerned for two years, and I think we can provide a rich education. "Mr. Ano explained the details of managara.
In the second part, as a talk session, Mr. Sayaka Kobayashi who became a model of the movie "Flying Colors", Mr. Hideki Yamamoto, the representative of Dream Project School, and Mr. Ano, following a part, talked about the possibility of online education.As a lecturer, Mr. Yamamoto will be in charge of lectures at managara.The remarks of each person are as follows.
Mr. Kobayashi: "When I took a questionnaire at a public junior high school," Are you looking forward to becoming an adult? "," Yes "and" No "were half and half. The reason for" Yes "is that you don't have to study, so" No. "It seems to be difficult for adults. Both answers are negative, and I felt that this was a difficult thing. Basically everyone dislikes studying, and XNUMX% of children who graduate from compulsory education dislike studying. There is also data that graduates as they are, but when they grow up, they all tell their children to "study."I think this is because once the goals are clear, the need for learning is felt.
Nowadays, if anything, studying is aimed at entering university, and the emphasis is on taking exams and tests.I don't have the consciousness for myself.What I want to say to students and students is that studying is not a penance.Learning becomes fun once the goals are clear.I love the term final learning, not final education.You can update your learning history no matter how old you are.In that sense, I think that being able to create a platform like managara that keeps learning will be a great power to change even the way compulsory education should be. "
Mr. Yamamoto: "Learning is born at the moment of output, not input. In Japan today, few people become members of society and relearn. Overseas, it has been a certain number of years since they entered society. I often come back to college with the desire to relearn. As Mr. Kobayashi says, if there is an environment where you can learn no matter where you are or what you are doing, a new way of learning May boost style.
I don't think Japanese education is flexible.Even though there are people who have various ideas, when it comes to education, the order based on deviation values is pervasive, and students who spill from it lose their confidence that they are "not good".There is no ingenuity in the education method, and even if you look at the advanced cases overseas, "It's wonderful.But it's impossible at our school. "It feels like it's finally been corrected and flexibility is emerging.The spread of online lessons is similar to when low-cost carrier airlines emerged.People who thought that airplanes had nothing to do with them can now travel long distances at low rates.As a result, various spillover effects were created and new businesses were born.
Universities, which are both educational institutions and research institutes, are gaining momentum not only to master but also to develop the online tools currently in use. The birth of managara is really timely, I am looking forward to future developments, and I feel that I will be tightened as a teacher. "
Mr. Ano: "I received the word" flexibility "from Mr. Yamamoto, but there is flexibility in online education, such as being able to learn anywhere in the world. Japanese working people are really busy, so I relearned that there is no schooling. Of course, there are many high school students who have merits. Learning economics and management will definitely be a plus in the future. I think it would be great if we could open the door to people who wanted to learn but couldn't.
In the future, for example, I will travel all over Japan and contribute to various places.WhileOr stay abroadWhileAnd for foreigners, stay in your own countryWhile, I would like to form alliances with various service groups so that I can learn. I can't wait to open it in 2021. "
In the third part, support messages from Mr. Masahiro Sato, a professor at Digital Hollywood University Graduate School, Mr. Masahiro Horiguchi, a TURNS producer, Mr. Satoshi Aosa, general director of Bourbon Water Polo Club Kashiwazaki, and Mr. Haichi, a YouTuber, were introduced.
Expectations are rising for how managara will develop and change Japanese learning.
