Leifras Co., Ltd. (LEIFRAS CO.,LTD., Nasdaq: LFS, Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director and CEO: Kiyotaka Ito), which operates sports schools for children and supports regional development of club activities, has been commissioned by Fukuoka City for "Swimming Class Support Services (West Block)." This fiscal year (Reiwa 8th year), our specialized instructors will support "1,757 sessions annually" of swimming classes at 43 elementary schools in Fukuoka City. The total number of supported sessions has increased by 675 sessions from the previous year (approx. 162% year-on-year), and we will further promote the reduction of teacher workload in elementary schools and the enhancement of the instruction system for children.

1. Background of Commissioned Work: The Need for "Teacher Workload Reduction" and "Enhanced Instruction" Currently, few elementary schools have specialized physical education teachers, and there is a demand for reducing teacher workload and enhancing the instruction system for children. Ahead of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's initiative to privatize school club activities, our company, which has been commissioned to support club activities at elementary, junior high, and high schools nationwide, is utilizing this expertise to support physical education classes. Following last summer, we have officially been commissioned again this fiscal year for swimming class support services in Fukuoka City, and we will continue our efforts to create a better environment for physical education classes.

2. Previous Year's Achievements and This Year's Support Scale: Number of Sessions Increased by 675 (162% Year-on-Year)

[Comparison of Total Supported Sessions Year-on-Year] Previous year 1,082 sessions → This year 1,757 sessions (Year-on-year increase: 675 sessions | Year-on-year ratio: 162%)

The total number of supported sessions increased by 675 sessions from the previous year (approx. 162% year-on-year). The dispatched instructional assistants are personnel who have completed our company's training and basic life support training conducted by the Fukuoka City Fire Department, among others. Based on our safety management manual, we will share information on the day's instruction content and children requiring special consideration with the homeroom teacher in advance, and together with the teacher, provide "swimming instruction that allows children to gain a sense of accomplishment" while considering the children's safety.
