This May 2018 saw a group of thirty Principals, Board Chairs and School owners from India visiting A-JIS for sharing ideas and opinions on the provision of good education. The visitors were able to observe classes and share ideas about education in India, Japan and globally.
Joining us as guest experts were Satoko Tabata of YouMe Nepal and Masafumi Naito of Star Navigation. Our teachers and leadership team presented and ran workshops for the visitors which were very well received.
Mindmingle is a group which provides international tours for leaders and owners of schools, conferences and The Inspiration Festival – India’s version of TED Talks.
The conference for transformers of education “Issues in Global Education” took place in A-JIS on April 28-30.
The conference caused a very positive reaction among participants who found being able to discuss matters that affect the whole nation with people outside their normal professional groups a very positive experience. We believe the conference will give birth to other such events in several of the participating institutions.
“Issues in Global Education” aims to bring teachers, researchers, educational leaders and community stakeholders together to share research, ideas and practices aimed at transforming education in Japan and beyond.
