The 2026 Edition of the Foresight Business Planner Launches

FCE Corporation, based in Shinjuku, Tokyo, has officially released the 2026 edition of its acclaimed Foresight Business Planner, designed specifically for middle and high school students. This latest version builds on the product's successful history, having been utilized by approximately 350,000 students across about 1,200 schools nationwide during the previous year alone. Since its inception, the planner has benefited over 2.59 million students, establishing FCE as a leader in the educational planner market.

Key Features of the 2026 Edition

The new edition of the Foresight Planner features several enhancements aimed at making it even more effective in developing students' reflection skills. Significantly, it includes winning entries from the 5th Foresight Planner Haiku Contest, which saw around 700 submissions from students across the nation. The top submission, “Write down the daily joys to reflect on” (from a 6th grader), captures the essence of student life, attesting to the planner's resonance with its young users.

One of the most notable features is the focus on improving “reflection skills.” The left side of each page has been specifically allocated for reflection, enabling students to routinely assess their plans and actions. This structure naturally encourages the PDCA cycle—Plan, Do, Check, Action—fostering a mindset where students learn to think critically and take initiative.

Continuous Improvement Based on Feedback

FCE is committed to incorporating teacher feedback each year, leading to valuable improvements in usability and engagement. For the 2026 version, a new “Step-by-Step Utilization Page” has been introduced in response to requests from educators, enhancing the planner's functionality. This includes guidance on how to use the planner effectively, which can be completed within the planner itself, reducing the need for extensive teacher instructions and facilitating easier implementation in classrooms.

Promoting Self-Development

The Foresight Planner aims not just to provide organization tools, but rather, it serves as a primary educational resource that instills a habit of reflection. By fostering the PDCA cycle, students learn to visualize their growth in studies and extracurricular activities, leading to tangible results and boosted self-confidence. In fact, a survey revealed that 94% of students who used the planner reported an increase in their ability to reflect.

Comprehensive Support and Resources

In addition to the planner itself, FCE offers extensive support for users, including guidance videos and analytical reports to encourage ongoing use. This commitment to supporting educational institutions is further exemplified by the creation of diverse versions tailored for different educational stages:

• - Junior Edition (B5 size) aimed primarily at upper elementary students
• - Entry Edition (B5 size) geared toward middle school students
• - Basic Edition (A5 size) designed for high school students
• - App Version (compatible with PCs and tablets)

Schools, educational bodies, and other institutions can request free samples, ensuring that they can make informed decisions about incorporating the Foresight Planner into their curriculum.
