Chiba Prefecture Starts the "One Teacher a Week Program" with the Matsudo City Board of Education - Dispatching employees to junior high schools in the city to help solve various issues surrounding school education and "exercise their abilities and individuality" -
Idemitsu Kosan Co.,Ltd. (Head office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Shunichi Kito; hereinafter referred to as "the Company") will be collaborating with the Matsudo City Board of Education (Chiba Prefecture; Superintendent of Education: Junichi Ito) to fully launch the "Once a Week Teacher Program" from September, in which the Company's employees will be dispatched to junior high schools in the city once a week.
In the "One Teacher a Week Program," our employees are dispatched to junior high schools in the city for a limited period of about three months, during which they will utilize their own experience and skills to tackle a variety of issues related to school education, such as conducting special classes, supporting regular classes, reforming working styles for teachers and staff, and improving work efficiency.
A trial of this initiative was conducted for approximately three months from May to July at Matsudo City Daiichi Junior High School (Principal: Yasuhiro Nishikawa). As a result of the trial, we determined that the program is expected to create new value and improve business operations in school education settings, and that it is an effective program for the growth of dispatched employees, so we will begin the program in earnest. It is an advanced initiative for employees of private companies to be dispatched to public junior high schools for a certain period of time to become involved in school education.
当社は、昨年11月に発表した中期経営計画（対象年度2023～2025年度）において人財戦略を経営戦略の根幹に据え、従業員の「能力・個性の発揮」に取り組んでいます。「能力・個性の発揮」には、従業員が通常の業務では体験することが難しい事柄の体験機会を得ることができる「他流試合」「越境学習」の場を提供することが有効だと考えており、今回の「週1先生プログラム」の取り組みは、その一つとしてスタートしたものです。
Furthermore, issues surrounding education are becoming more complex and difficult. The purpose of this initiative is to provide an opportunity for the Matsudo City Board of Education to organize its own curriculum and improve operations based on new ideas and specialized knowledge, while referring to examples of initiatives by private companies. That's what I mean.
