In PISA 2022, Japanese 15-year-olds excelled above OECD averages in mathematics, reading, and science, with many excelling in mathematics despite socio-economic challenges. However, concerns like loneliness, feeling like outsiders, life dissatisfaction, and a prevalent fear of failure and lack of confidence among students highlight areas needing improvement in Japanese schools.
To address educational challenges, our ‘Learning Journey’ service, initiated in 2022, embraces the philosophy that ‘it’s okay not to be okay’ and views failure as a positive sign of effort and learning. This program connects learners with international peers, promoting interaction and collaboration across cultures. It’s designed to build resilience and confidence by showing students that struggles and setbacks are natural parts of the learning process. Through engaging in meaningful exchanges with foreign students, participants learn to value diverse perspectives and develop a global mindset. Our service goes beyond traditional education, offering a supportive space where students can grow, make mistakes, and emerge stronger, better prepared for the complexities of our interconnected world.
