Introduction

In a significant move aimed at preparing students for junior high school entrance exams, Riso Education Group's subsidiary, TOMAS, has introduced a new online lecture course titled "2026 Major News: Current Affairs Online Course." As schools increasingly incorporate current events into their entrance exams, this course offers a well-structured approach to mastering essential news topics that are crucial for exam success.

Importance of Current Affairs in Entrance Exams

In recent years, up to 80% of prestigious private junior high schools in the Tokyo metropolitan area have included current affairs questions in their entrance exams. This growing trend emphasizes the need for students not only to memorize facts right before exams but to cultivate an ongoing interest in social movements and events. This course encourages students to engage with news content in a meaningful way, enabling them to articulate their understanding effectively.

Course Features

Comprehensive Video Lectures

The course utilizes real-time discussions of societal developments and news events, providing students with clear explanations that accompany relevant contextual knowledge. The aim is to help students formulate their own opinions based on informed viewpoints, rather than rote memorization.

Related Knowledge Coverage

Recognizing that exam questions often extend beyond the news itself, this course explains related subjects that enhance understanding. Students will have the opportunity to learn live and engaging information, which can greatly aid in their exam preparation. Regular quizzes will help reinforce learning and assess comprehension.
