Cumenta Clinic Partners with Miss Japan Association for Educational Initiative

Cumenta Clinic and Miss Japan Association: A Groundbreaking Partnership

In a significant move for educational reform, Cumenta Clinic, located in Kokubunji City, Tokyo, has officially partnered with the Miss Japan Association as a strategic partner for their YouTube initiative, "10-Year Plan to Build an Elementary School." This collaboration, which launches a new series titled "Learning with Miss Japan," is set to start on September 24, 2025, featuring active Miss Japan titleholders who will regularly engage with pressing educational and social issues.

A New Educational Series

The series "Learning with Miss Japan" marks a pioneering effort in which the reigning winners of Miss Japan will appear continuously to address various challenges within education and society. The show will be hosted by Nanako Nagao, the first runner-up of Miss Japan 2025, who will take on the role of the main MC as the Cumentown Ambassador. The show aims to involve all current titleholders and create a comprehensive outreach program within the community.

Introducing Cumentown Ambassadors

The Cumentown Ambassador is a pivotal role established by the Cumenta Group, aimed at enhancing child-rearing support and constructing infrastructure addressing Japan's declining birthrate. This initiative embodies the essence of the Cumentown vision, committed to supporting families and children.

The Vision for Education

The "10-Year Plan to Build an Elementary School" project is more than just a YouTube initiative. It aspires to construct a new elementary school model ten years from its inception, focusing on academic excellence, emotional support, and practical life skills. Dr. Yasuhiko Kume, a psychiatrist and industrial physician leading the project, will share his expertise and insights on these vital topics through the series.

Our Three Major Goals

The elementary school's objectives encompass:

1. Integrating Pediatric Care: By incorporating pediatric and sick children's care along with after-school programs, we aim to create a nurturing environment for working parents and community families.
2. Fostering Resilience: The school will emphasize an education model that emphasizes critical thinking, artistic expression, and economic literacy while ensuring that children can overcome failures as part of their learning journey.
3. Improving Teacher Conditions: By enhancing the working environment and compensation for educators, we are dedicated to elevating the quality of education provided to students.
