NextTeachers Inc. announced that it has begun providing admission office (AO) operations support services to Kochi Gakuen Kochi Junior and Senior High School starting from April 2026 (Reiwa 8). This project involves comprehensive support from the planning of admission and public relations strategies to their execution and improvement, all based on the analysis of applicant trends and internal advancement data. As securing students for private schools becomes a critical social issue due to the declining birthrate, this initiative aims to contribute to sustainable school management and the strengthening of integrated junior and senior high school education through data-driven school operations and the "visualization of learning."

Background of Introduction: Why is private sector support needed now?

Currently, with the accelerating decline in the birthrate, competition among private schools to attract students has intensified unprecedentedly. Traditional recruitment activities relying on experience and intuition, and standardized public relations alone, make it difficult to accurately convey the unique appeal of a school to prospective students and their guardians. For sustainable school management going forward, the function of an admission office (AO) that comprehensively grasps and analyzes objective data such as applicant trends, internal advancement trends, and recommendation structures, and makes strategic decisions, is indispensable. However, many educational institutions face challenges due to a lack of specialized personnel and know-how for data analysis and strategy formulation.

Support Services Provided by NextTeachers

Therefore, NextTeachers Inc. acts as an external partner for educational institutions, offering the following specialized knowledge and providing hands-on support in collaboration with school personnel:

- Problem identification based on data analysis: Organizing data such as applicant trends and enrollment trends to clarify strategic issues in recruitment. - "Visualization of learning" and public relations/content planning: Advising and proposing effective communication methods for school guides and SNS outreach, considering the continuity of integrated junior and senior high school education. - Admission and recruitment system operation support: Proposing improvements for how information is provided to prospective students and measures to promote internal advancement. - Thorough PDCA cycle implementation: Conducting regular consultations to review progress and evaluate effectiveness, ensuring continuous improvement through the PDCA cycle.

Future Outlook

Through this initiative at Kochi Gakuen Kochi Junior and Senior High School, NextTeachers Inc. will build an advanced model case for data-based recruitment strategies. Moving forward, the company will leverage its network to collect and provide best practices and expand its support system to educational institutions nationwide facing similar challenges.
