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), has been introduced in 12 public elementary and junior high schools in Wako City, Saitama Prefecture, starting April 2026, with approximately 6,000 students beginning to use it.
Wako City, Saitama Prefecture, has set the goal of 'supporting education that fosters lifelong self-directed learning and the realization of rich and healthy lives.' To enable children living in this era to acquire 'the ability to think and act independently,' 'the ability to cooperate with peers,' and 'the ability to positively enjoy and utilize digital society,' the city is promoting the development of its educational system.
'Surara Drill' is an educational material that combines AI-driven optimal problem presentation with easy-to-understand animated lecture functions, 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 'understanding' and 'achieving,' rather than simply repeating drill exercises.
Furthermore, 'Surara Drill' reduces the burden of teachers' daily tasks such as assignment distribution, grading, and progress management, while enabling detailed guidance utilizing learning data. This ensures that teachers have time to engage with each child individually, contributing to further improvement in the quality of lessons.
In Wako City, 'Surara Drill' was adopted due to its ability to firmly establish basic academic skills through AI-powered lectures and repetitive exercises, and its high 'learning continuity' that enables consistent learning support regardless of location for students with circumstances such as school refusal or separate classroom attendance.
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 'Surara Drill.'
## AI x Adaptive Learning Material 'Surara Drill'
'Surara Drill' is an AI drill material for public elementary and junior high schools, providing 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 language, arithmetic/mathematics, English, science, and social studies—across grade levels. The material consists of three functions: drills, tests, and interactive lectures, aiming to steadily establish academic ability through a cycle of 'practice → confirmation → review.' Additionally, automatic test creation/grading and automatic review registration functions reduce the burden on teachers.
'Surara Drill' enables instruction tailored to diverse learning styles, simultaneously supporting students' proactive learning and improving the quality of teachers' instruction.
