School of Education

Preparing high-quality educators who have three strengths: the "ability to put lessons into practice," "learning and teaching capability," and "resourcefulness"

In recent years, the environment surrounding education has been in chaos and there are a host of problems involving children such as bullying, class disruption, children who refuse to go to school and declining academic standards. Meanwhile, demands from society toward education have been increasing, causing problems that cannot be handled only by teachers working in the field. The learning and teaching capability of society as a whole has to be regenerated, while taking all the educational activities of society, including those conducted by schools, households and local communities, into consideration. Kwansei Gakuin set up the School of Education in April 2009, aiming at preparing trusted and high-quality educators (teachers of elementary schools and kindergartens) and childminders, as well as supporters of various educational activities.
