On June 15, 2016, Gifu University held the 3^rd Press Conference by the President.

First, President Hisataka Moriwaki spoke about the "Teacher Education Course of the Graduate School of Education from 2017" in association with the Gifu University's Future Vision for 2025.

Next, Professor Naotake Iketani, Dean of the Graduate School of Education and Professor Noriko Hirasawa of the Teacher Education Course explained the Course and their goals from 2017 in detail.

The Teacher Education Course of the Graduate School of Education was established in 2008 as a specialized course designed to nurture highly-skilled teaching professionals who can contribute to dealing with, and improvement of on-site situations as "work-ready" personnel. Since its establishment, the Graduate School of Education has been working hard to foster future "school leaders" of Gifu Prefecture in conjunction with the prefectural board of education.

With the actual needs of schools and local communities in mind, the Graduate School of Education will put more efforts into cultivating young leaders for the development of prefecture-wide education by reorganizing the current four courses into the two new courses, "School Administrator Training Course" and "Education Practice Development Course" from 2017.
