Introducing a Revolutionary Hybrid Learning System for Teachers' Workload Reduction

Streamlining Education with 'Minna no Gakushu Club'

In a pioneering move to alleviate the administrative burdens faced by educators, Cosmotopia Inc. has announced a new hybrid learning platform named 'Minna no Gakushu Club'. This initiative, which has been selected for the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's 'Exploratory and Administrative Reform Support Subsidy 2025', aims to reshape the learning landscape in schools across Japan. By focusing on 'independent learning' and 'lifelong learning', Cosmotopia seeks to enhance educational experiences through a meticulously designed ICT教材システム.

The Need for Change in Education

As the demands on teachers have increased, often leading to overwhelming workloads, the need for a system that supports both teachers and students has never been more critical. Teachers frequently find themselves investing significant time searching for or creating teaching materials that cater to 21st-century learning needs. The 'Minna no Gakushu Club' addresses this by providing a rich repository of resources that align closely with textbooks, significantly reducing the workload on educators. This allows teachers to create tailored learning experiences that respond to their students' unique needs, all while encouraging self-directed learning among students.

Application for Subsidy: A Golden Opportunity

The current call for applications for demonstration municipalities and schools marks a significant opportunity. Schools accepted into this program will have access to the 'Minna no Gakushu Club' without any financial burden until the end of the 2025 academic year. This subsidy, aimed at reducing teachers’ workload and promoting inquiry-based learning, underscores the government’s commitment to improving educational outcomes. Interested educational committees and schools are encouraged to apply, as the deadline for subsidy application is set for May 15. For those considering participation, an individual briefing session will be held from May 1 to May 14.

What is 'Minna no Gakushu Club'?

'Minna no Gakushu Club' is more than just a platform; it's a comprehensive hybrid learning solution designed to enhance students' educational experiences. Utilizing both printed materials and digital content available on tablets, this system supports seamless hybrid learning—whether in traditional classroom settings or online environments. The platform combines numerous printable resources with clear tutorial videos, making it adaptable for various educational contexts, including lessons, morning sessions, and after-school programs.

A Message from the President

Yukihiro Onoe, the president of Cosmotopia, expressed his enthusiasm for this initiative, stating, "For over 40 years, we have been dedicated to creating educational materials centered around independent learning. With more than 15 years of experience in supporting students' proactive learning through the 'Minna no Gakushu Club', we are excited to continue this journey. The recent trend towards integrating tablets into educational settings is a great opportunity to balance digital and traditional learning methods, thus reinforcing foundational skills among students while easing the preparation burden on teachers."
