Kokuyo Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Osaka City / President: Hidekuni Kuroda) announces that, in order to realize the 'N-E.X.T. High School Concept' promoted by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), it has started comprehensive support for municipalities, boards of education, and high schools nationwide from early April, and has opened a dedicated consultation desk.
1. Background of the Initiative
As a new vision for high school education looking toward 2040, MEXT has presented the 'N-E.X.T. High School Concept' (*), and discussions are fully underway in each prefecture to create hubs that will lead the reform. In order to realize diverse and high-quality high school education through the advancement of specialized high schools and the reform of general courses, it is essential not only to introduce equipment but also to comprehensively plan 'spaces (hardware)' that induce new learning, advanced 'educational programs (software),' and 'ICT systems and human resource structures (operations)' to run them smoothly.

To date, Kokuyo has supported educational sites by creating spaces and providing furniture that consistently pursue 'ease of learning' and 'ease of use' from elementary, junior high, and high schools to universities, in line with the diversification of learning styles accompanying social changes. Starting from this know-how, we will support the next-generation evolution of high schools, accelerating diverse and high-quality learning across the boundaries of hardware, software, and operations. We have set up a dedicated page for this matter, so please make use of it.
2. Dedicated Page
In conjunction with the start of this initiative, we have opened a dedicated page for municipalities and school officials.
To realize the 'N.E.X.T. High School Concept,' we have prepared materials that summarize images of spaces that promote new learning and model plans assuming specific usage scenes. Those who wish to have these materials sent to them, or who wish to consult about formulating individual plans tailored to the characteristics of each school, or building environments that integrate hardware, software, and operations, can contact us via the inquiry form on the dedicated page. Please use it as the first step towards materializing your concept.

(1) Providing optimal spaces that draw out independent, interactive, and deep learning
Leveraging Kokuyo's cultivated expertise in creating educational spaces, we will provide optimal spaces according to the typology of the 'N-E.X.T. High School Concept'.
