Mr Yuuichi Asada has been the town manager for Kurayoshi City Centre
Revitalization Council since October 2014. Kurayoshi is a small city located in
in the central part of Tottori prefecture, Japan.
On this article, he talks about the local regeneration
of the city, calling for the need to establish a first class school that would
attract students and teachers from all over the world. Mr Asada and I have been
working together on this project over the last few years.
Citing my argument shown below in the middle of
the article, he discusses problems that Japan has been facing with its chronic
exam-oriented education system and most importantly how Japanese people can
tackle them.
"As children grow up, why do they, who
were once masses of creativity born with all-round curiosity and action, fall
within the bounds of common sense set by adults? They turn textbookish.
Factory-type persons are mass-produced under the name of acquiring
sociality."
We are creating the educational project focused
on “creativity” and “importance of love” The students are from young age to
adult. Teachers are invited from all over the world. It is for re-building our
new society.
