Surala Drill, an AI-powered adaptive interactive ICT educational material developed and provided by Surala Net Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Takahiko Yunokawa), will be introduced at Yamada Elementary School in Yosano Town, Kyoto Prefecture, starting April 2026, with approximately 65 students beginning to use it.
Yamada Elementary School, with its educational goal of "Nurturing children who love their community, think for themselves, connect with others, and continuously challenge themselves," is committed to realizing education that maximizes the potential of each individual, leveraging the strength of small class sizes. Focusing on "establishing self-study habits" using GIGA School devices, they are promoting a learning style where children challenge tasks at their own pace, accumulating a sense of accomplishment to build confidence.
"Surala Drill" is a teaching material that combines AI-driven optimal problem presentation with easy-to-understand lecture functions using animation, enabling "individually optimized learning" tailored to each child's understanding and learning progress. It is designed to naturally foster self-esteem and motivation to learn by accumulating successful experiences of feeling "I understood" and "I did it," rather than simply repeating drill exercises.
Furthermore, "Surala Drill" enables detailed guidance utilizing learning data, while reducing the burden of teachers' daily tasks such as assignment distribution, scoring, and progress management. This ensures that teachers have more time to interact with each child individually, contributing to a further improvement in the quality of classes.
In the case of Yamada Elementary School, the introduction was decided based on the evaluation of "Surala Drill's" convenience of its "ungraded system," which allows students to proceed according to their understanding regardless of their grade level, and its ability to provide detailed individual support by automatically identifying the cause of each student's stumbling blocks through AI and providing immediate feedback.
Surala Net will continue to strongly support individually optimized learning in public elementary and junior high schools and reduce teachers' workload through the provision of "Surala Drill."
■ AI x Adaptive Learning Material "Surala Drill"
"Surala Drill" is an AI drill material for public elementary and junior high schools, offering adaptive learning tailored to each student's understanding. With AI-driven "stumbling block diagnosis" and "difficulty control," students can flexibly learn 5 subjects – Japanese language, mathematics, English, science, and social studies – across grade levels. The material consists of three functions: drills, tests, and interactive lectures, facilitating solid academic achievement through a cycle of "practice → confirmation → review" without undue stress. It also reduces teachers' burden through automatic test generation and scoring, and automatic review registration functions.
"Surala Drill" enables instruction tailored to diverse learning styles, simultaneously supporting students' proactive learning and improving the quality of teachers' instruction.
