StudyPocket Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Representative Directors: Ryo Yamaji / Hiroyuki Tsuruta, hereinafter 'StudyPocket') has opened a consultation desk on the utilization of generative AI for schools and local governments, regarding the high school education reform 'N-E.X.T. High School Initiative' (Project to Promote High School Education Reform Contributing to the Development of Industrial Innovation Talent, etc.) promoted by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT).

StudyPocket has been facing the use of generative AI in educational settings through the provision of generative AI services for schools. At the newly opened consultation desk, in the context of high school education reform looking toward 2040, each school and local government can consult broadly on how to position generative AI and how to utilize it for learning and guidance.

You can consult on the direction of generative AI utilization and specific implementation images for various themes in educational settings, such as career education, inquiry-based learning, global education, teacher operational support, and next-generation programming and information education.

## Background of Opening the Consultation Desk
In just three years, generative AI has continued to evolve rapidly.
In particular, with the advent of frontier models (cutting-edge AI models) that enable advanced reasoning, dialogue, and the execution of complex tasks, AI is becoming more than just a text generation tool; it is becoming deeply involved in the process of learning itself, supporting thinking, expression, and dialogue.

These changes are beginning to have a major impact on the state of school education and the identity of occupational choice looking toward 2040. Toward the arrival of an AI-assumed society, StudyPocket believes that the question for future high school education is not whether to use AI, but how to position it, what kind of abilities to foster, and how to improve the quality of learning.

The 'N-E.X.T. High School Initiative' presented by MEXT highlights important directions for high school education reform toward 2040, such as the advancement of inquiry-based learning, responding to diverse learning needs, learning connected to local communities and society, and collaboration with industry and universities.

StudyPocket perceives that these directions are deeply connected to the evolution of generative AI and frontier models. Notably, this demonstration project is a three-year initiative, during which technology is expected to continue evolving significantly. That is precisely why what is needed in educational settings is not just to view individual tools and functions as isolated points, but to continuously consider and update utilization in a way tailored to the frontline while keeping an eye on the very nature of education in the generative AI era.

The consultation desk opened this time aims to start a dialogue with schools and local governments as an entry point for that purpose.

## StudyPocket's Perspective on the N-E.X.T. High School Initiative and Generative AI Utilization
StudyPocket believes that the use of generative AI in schools goes beyond mere efficiency or the replacement of some tasks; it is about building a foundation to expand the possibilities of future learning and instruction.

Anticipating the arrival of an AI-assumed society, teachers and students are beginning to harbor fundamental questions about why they learn and what they learn. Toward 2040, it is anticipated that the role of generative AI will become greater in future high school education in areas such as:
- Inquiry-based learning where students formulate their own questions, face problems without right answers, and deepen their thoughts.
- Career education and guidance for communicating one's ideas to others.
- English education and global education connected to the world.
