Surala Drill, provided by Surala Net Co., Ltd., a company that develops and provides AI-powered adaptive interactive ICT learning materials (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Takahiko Yunokawa), will be introduced at Kamiya Junior High School starting in April 2026. This brings the total number of schools utilizing the system in Ino Town to two, including Gokita Junior High School, which has been using it since last year.
Ino Town, Agawa District, Kochi Prefecture, operates under the fundamental philosophy of "Ino's education where everyone smiles, pursues their dreams, and learns together," striving to create an educational environment where children can learn independently and grow healthily. Under the GIGA School Concept, the town is promoting "individually optimized learning" and "collaborative learning" to solidify foundational knowledge and foster the individuality of each child by effectively utilizing ICT.
"Surala Drill" is an educational material that enables "individually optimized learning" tailored to each child's understanding and learning progress, combining AI-driven optimal problem presentation with easy-to-understand animated lecture functions. It is designed to naturally foster self-esteem and motivation for learning by accumulating successful experiences of "understanding" and "achieving," rather than merely repeating drill exercises.
Furthermore, "Surala Drill" reduces the burden of teachers' daily tasks such as assignment distribution, grading, and progress management, while also enabling meticulous instruction using learning data. This allows teachers to secure more time to interact with each child, contributing to a further improvement in the quality of lessons.
In Ino Town, "Surala Drill" was introduced at Gokita Junior High School in April 2025, and efforts have been made to ensure students' mastery of learning and to reduce the clerical burden on teachers. This time, due to the proven track record of ICT utilization at the school, the expanded introduction to Kamiya Junior High School has been decided.
For this introduction, the "age-free system," which allows learning to proceed according to individual comprehension regardless of grade level, as well as the automatic grading and analysis functions that enable teachers to grasp learning status in real-time and focus on more detailed instruction, were highly evaluated.
Surala Net will continue to strongly support personalized learning in public elementary and junior high schools and reduce the workload of teachers 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 that provides adaptive learning tailored to each student's understanding. Through AI-driven "stumbling block diagnosis" and "difficulty level control," students can flexibly learn five subjects—Japanese, arithmetic/mathematics, English, science, and social studies—across different grade levels. The material consists of three functions: drills, tests, and interactive lectures, facilitating the consolidation of academic ability through a "practice → confirmation → review" cycle without undue stress. Additionally, automatic test creation and grading, and automatic review registration functions reduce the burden on teachers.
"Surala Drill" enables instruction that accommodates diverse learning styles, simultaneously supporting students' proactive learning and improving the quality of teaching.
