Douritsu Yushikai Holdings Co., Ltd. (CEO: Takahiro Nakamura) is pleased to announce the opening of 'Kumapri Kyoshitsu' in Miyazaki City, the nation's first inclusive education-style learning center utilizing the AI-powered adaptive learning material 'Kumapri.'
Based on the philosophy of 'realizing a society where all children can learn together,' this center provides a new educational model that offers personalized learning regardless of disabilities, developmental traits, school refusal tendencies, academic progress, or family environment. This initiative is the first of its kind in Miyazaki Prefecture and also marks its debut in the Kyushu region.
## What is the Nation's First 'Inclusive Education' Classroom?
In recent years, challenges in the Japanese educational landscape have intensified, including a rising number of students not attending school, the need for support for developmental disorders/gray zones, and widening learning gaps. Many children face 'learning difficulties' in traditional education, such as being unable to keep up with group lessons, feeling hesitant to go to school, or losing self-esteem through repeated experiences of failure.
'Kumapri Kyoshitsu' implements a new form of learning support by incorporating inclusive education principles. It merges AI-driven personalized learning, consideration for developmental traits, small-group instruction, success experiences that boost self-esteem, the creation of a safe 'third place,' and support from a welfare perspective. We value the idea that 'everyone is different' rather than 'everyone is the same,' aiming to create an environment where children can learn in their own way.
## Realizing Personalized Learning with AI Material 'Kumapri'
'Kumapri' is a learning support tool where AI analyzes a child's level of understanding and weak areas to provide optimized problems. By reducing cases where materials are 'too difficult' or 'too easy' and accumulating success experiences of 'I did it!', the tool fosters confidence in learning. Furthermore, it provides comprehensive educational support including the formation of study habits, concentration support, Social Skills Training (SST), non-cognitive ability support, and developmental support, beyond just improving academic performance.
## Toward a New Regional Model Connecting Education and Welfare
'Kumapri Kyoshitsu' aims to be more than just a cram school; it seeks to be a 'regional hub for inclusive education.' Moving forward, it intends to advance functions such as free schools, cooperation with schools, collaboration with welfare businesses, support for non-attending students, and partnerships with local communities, aiming for nationwide expansion as a new model that integrates 'Education x Welfare x Region.'
