The Itabashi City Board of Education (Superintendent: Yutaka Naganuma, hereinafter referred to as "the Ward") has formulated a new educational vision, "MIRAI SCHOOL Itabashi - Education Vision 2035," looking ahead 10 years from Reiwa 8 (2026) to Reiwa 17 (2035).
In an era where the future is highly unpredictable, the environment surrounding education is also becoming complex, diverse, and multi-generational. This includes the diversifying needs of children, the required educational facilities, the enhancement of individual support systems for issues like school refusal, the increasing necessity of lifelong learning due to extended life expectancy, and reforms in teachers' working styles.
Amidst this, the Ward, in its "Education Vision 2035," has set its desired future image as "MIRAI SCHOOL Itabashi" with the motto "Education exists for people to live happily." This reflects the desire for each individual to experience the joy of learning, the joy of growing, and the joy of connecting with others throughout their lives through education. "MIRAI" embodies "Five Powers to Nurture," and the aim is to realize "MIRAI SCHOOL Itabashi" by making the entire Itabashi area a campus for learning.
The Ward believes that education based on this vision will broaden individual choices and lead to the happiness of individuals, the community, and future generations. Furthermore, it will comprehensively implement various educational projects outlined in the "Action Plan 2028," formulated as an action program for the educational vision, and promote the widespread adoption of "MIRAI SCHOOL Itabashi."
## Five Powers Embodied in "MIRAI"
### Motivation (Power to move forward as oneself)
By accepting oneself as one is, one can grow with peers and gain the driving force to move towards the future.
### Inclusion (Power to live by accepting each other)
Even with different personalities and positions, one can listen to others and work together to solve problems.
### Relation (Power to connect and help each other)
One can seek and act on what they can do for others as their own responsibility, to help those around them and contribute to society.
### Activation (Power to take action oneself)
One can think, judge, and challenge themselves to do what needs to be done.
### Innovation (Power to pioneer from scratch)
One can notice unseen challenges and create something from nothing, even for problems without clear answers.
