Yui Connection and Arsaga Partners Unveil EduCopilot

In an innovative move to alleviate the burdens faced by educators, Yui Connection Inc., based in Osaka, and Arsaga Partners Inc., located in Shibuya, Tokyo, have announced the launch of their AI-driven service, EduCopilot. Scheduled to officially roll out on May 12, 2025, this service aims to transform the way teachers generate student evaluations through the utilization of generative AI technology.

What is EduCopilot?

EduCopilot is designed to assist teachers in creating individualized student observations, thereby ensuring each child's unique traits are accurately reflected in their academic reports. By responding to a series of questions based on the Yui Connection's class management support system, Ketsuen-EN®, educators can effortlessly generate reports suitable for report cards and other formal documentation used in primary and junior high schools.

The service ensures a streamlined process that reduces the time invested in administrative tasks, allowing teachers to concentrate more on classroom preparation and engagement with their students.

One of the standout features of EduCopilot is its accessibility: schools and municipalities can adopt it in bulk, and individual teachers also have the option to use the service. Additionally, a free plan is available that offers a taste of EduCopilot's functionality, ensuring flexible adoption that can meet the varied needs of educators. However, it is crucial for individual teachers to obtain permission from pertinent authorities, such as school principals or education boards, before using the tool.

Key Features of EduCopilot

• - Student-Centric Reports: The service generates observations based on the specific characteristics of students, as gathered through the input fields linked to the Ketsuen-EN® framework.
• - Ease of Use: It eliminates the complex task of prompt design, streamlining the reporting process significantly.
• - Tailored for Schools: The system is specifically engineered to address the challenges and needs of educational institutions.

As Japan continues to grapple with long working hours for teachers compared to OECD nations, and significant concerns regarding teacher shortages persist, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) of Japan has prioritized work style reforms within schools. EduCopilot aligns perfectly with these efforts, designed to reduce workloads related to documentation like student evaluations, thereby enabling teachers to dedicate more time to preparing lessons and engaging interactively with students.

Moving Forward

Yui Connection is committed to enhancing educational environments and plans to further develop initiatives that support learners from childhood through adulthood. They aim to create a sustainable society where all individuals can thrive. Similarly, Arsaga Partners is dedicated to supporting Yui Connection in developing not just student observation reports, but also intelligent learning assistance technologies that cater to each pupil’s understanding and unique traits. They aspire to create environments where teachers can engage creatively while closely monitoring the development of their students, with future expansions reflecting feedback from current educational practices and bolstering compatibility with other educational systems.
