Upcoming Event: 'Spec TOMAS Junior High School Entrance Exam Guidance'

On May 16, 2026, a special event targeting students in grades 1 to 3 and their parents will take place, organized by Sundai TOMAS, a subsidiary of RISO Educational Group. This event, titled 'Spec TOMAS Junior High School Entrance Exam Guidance', aims to explore the recent emphasis on 'Life Education' in junior high school entrance exams.

As students prepare for the competitive entrance exams, understanding the societal structure and life skills is increasingly important. The event will focus on the theme 'Let's Create Our Own Town', where participants will learn about the key components that make up our daily lives and community through interactive activities.

An Increasing Focus on Life Skills in Exams

In recent years, the entrance exams in metropolitan areas have seen a significant rise in the number of candidates, reflecting a growing interest in education. Compared to 20 or 30 years ago, the complexity and volume of written responses in these exams have increased drastically, emphasizing critical thinking and expression.

More than just rote memorization, exams are beginning to cover practical knowledge reflecting everyday common sense and the workings of society. The emphasis on 'Life Education' helps students bridge the gap between theoretical learning and real-world understanding, and this guidance session plans to showcase how these skills will be tested in entrance exams.
