(1) School Curriculum Committee
————–

School Curriculum Committee was held
on June 29 in 2008.

  We discussed the plans to publish
science and geoscience related textbooks and reference books based on the new
course of study.  Please be kind to do our favor when we
ask you to write manuscripts.

New Elementary School Course of Study
Guide by the MEXT or Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and
Technology has been placed on the website.  Description based on constructionism
has been hidden behind, but there still are room to improve.
