Fifth Press Conference by President AY 2019

Gifu University held the fifth press conference by President AY 2019 on July 24.

President Hisataka Moriwaki first spoke about the transition toward the compulsory education school system of Gifu University affiliated Elementary School and Junior High School, and its role in Gifu University Future Vision Toward 2025. His presentation was followed by the speeches of Professor Satoshi Beppu, Dean of the Faculty of Education and Professor Yoshio Sumoto (the Faculty of Education), who also serves as the principal of Gifu University affiliated Elementary School and Junior High School. They talked about the significance of transition and possible changes brought about by the compulsory education status from the viewpoints of the Faculty of Education and the affiliated schools, respectively.

Under the compulsory education school system, an elementary school and a junior high school are considered an integrated one school, and Gifu University affiliated Elementary School and Junior High School will start the compulsory education school system in 2020.

After the transition, students at the Faculty of Education will not only study the theory of education in classes, but also participate in practical training at the affiliate schools while observing the benefits of the system and children's growth up close. University students' frequent visit to the affiliated schools will no doubt reinforce collaboration between Gifu University and affiliated schools in the future.

In addition, a shift from six-year education at elementary school and three-year education at junior high school, to nine-year consistent education will enable educators to draft flexible school curricula and establish special classes for children.

Gifu University is committed to contributing to education in Gifu Prefecture as a community-driven university in the years to come.

Gifu University affiliated Elementary School and Junior High School student recruitment information for 2019 will be posted at the school website in early October.
