Idea High School Establishes Personalized Learning with AI and Online Consultation System

Idea Human Support Service Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Mariko Ukiyo; hereinafter "Idea Human Support Service"), which operates "Idea High School," is pleased to announce the development of "Idea My Pace Study." This initiative, launched ahead of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's "Next High School Concept," provides both "relearning AI" for personalized learning and individual consultations for "mental care" to each student.

■ Background

In Japan, the social structure is undergoing significant changes due to the declining birthrate, aging population, decrease in the productive-age population, and widening educational disparities between regions, often referred to as the "2040 problem." This necessitates a major shift in the approach to education. Beyond traditional knowledge acquisition, there is a need to transition to individually optimized learning that caters to each student's interests, motivation, career path, and comprehension level. In response, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology launched the "Next High School Concept," promoting digital utilization in learning to foster STEM talent, advance IT in education, and cultivate skills in utilizing AI.

Amidst these changes, Idea High School, a support school for correspondence high schools, has recognized that students' learning environments are no longer confined to school premises but extend to various locations, including their homes. Therefore, it has become crucial to create a system that allows continuous learning regardless of time or place. Furthermore, beyond daily learning support, it is essential to provide individually optimized learning for diversified university entrance exams, such as comprehensive selection and school recommendation types, and to establish a consultation system that addresses concerns related to both academics and daily life, all to achieve personalized support for each student.

With this awareness of the challenges, Idea High School is pleased to announce the development of "Idea My Pace Study," which supports students from both learning and psychological perspectives, in concrete realization of the Next High School Concept.
