Join The Online Employment Fair for Correspondence High School Teachers in 2026

Overview of the Event

The 'Correspondence High School Teacher Festa 2026' is set to take place on June 27 and July 11, 2026, organized by Recmedia, a media company specialized in correspondence high schools. This online employment fair aims to connect recent graduates and students pursuing graduate degrees with various correspondence schools and support schools. A total of ten schools will participate, and they will be sharing information on their educational philosophies, workplace environments, and recruitment processes. The event is free of charge, providing an opportunity for students to gather valuable insights without any financial commitment.

Background

According to the Japanese Ministry of Education's 'School Basic Survey (Preliminary Data) for FY7', the number of students enrolled in correspondence high schools has surged past 300,000, reaching a record high of 305,221 students. This accounts for approximately 9.6% of all high school students, reflecting a growing trend where one in ten high schoolers is now choosing this educational route. Furthermore, the number of correspondence high schools has also risen to an unprecedented 332, nearly doubling from two decades ago. The opening of 30 new schools in April 2025 underscores this sector's rapid growth, catering not only to students with history of truancy but also facilitating students keen on balancing academics with sports or performing arts, as well as those looking to pursue higher education abroad. Many schools are now offering specialized courses in areas such as e-sports, IT, and programming.

Despite this growth, the demand for teachers and staff within these schools continues to outpace supply. As challenges such as declining teacher exam pass rates emerge, correspondence high schools are eager to recruit individuals who can provide personalized educational support. Notably, many roles within these schools do not require teaching licenses, differentiating them from conventional full-time teacher recruitment practices. However, the choice to work in correspondence high schools remains relatively unknown to many job-seeking students. Thus, this event aims to bridge the gap between emerging recruitment needs and prospective graduates seeking meaningful career paths.

Unique Features of the Event

1. Meet 10 Schools at Once: Over two days, participants can learn about five different schools each day, allowing for efficient comparison of educational philosophies and workplace cultures.

2. Real Insights from Recruitment Officers: Each school will give a 25-minute presentation (15 minutes for the school overview followed by 10 minutes for Q&A), addressing various concerns such as educational philosophies, age demographics of teachers, and application requirements for non-license holders.

3. Open to All Students: Whether or not a teaching license is in progress, students from various academic backgrounds are welcome to join.

4. Casual and Comfortable Participation: Students can attend from the comfort of their homes, with the option to turn off their cameras and engage anonymously through chat. This format encourages students who are early in their job search or exploring the industry to participate.

5. Immediate Pre-Entry Option: Participants can express interest in various schools through a simplified check-in process during the event, facilitating smooth follow-up communications.
