(particularly the inquiry-based selection that evaluates inquiry learning). ■Background of the business partnership ~Supporting high school students’ deep learning and career development~ Kawaijuku Educational Corporation provides not only general selection
preparation for students aiming to enter university entrance exams, but also comprehensive and school recommendation selection courses where students can prepare their statement of reason for application and interview preparation, and support a variety of entrance examination methods to help them get into the school of their choice. I am. Furthermore, starting in 2022, in addition to subject study, we will be offering the “Future Exploration Program,” an online course where high school students can deepen their learning with the theme of “inquiry,” touch on the essence of things, and connect with their career paths and future. Study Valley Co., Ltd. provides educational institutions (mainly high schools) across the country with an inquiry learning support platform equipped with AI, as well as issues that various companies are working on as subjects for inquiry learning. To date, we have supported the collaboration of inquiry learning with over 100 companies and over 400 high schools. The proportion of university entrance exams that take comprehensive selective entrance exams has rapidly increased from 1.4% to 14.8% between 2000 and 2023. In line with this, there is an increased emphasis on preparing for “clarification of reasons for applying” and “consistent
self-expression” required in comprehensive selection. However, to be able to express these things in one’s own words requires deep thinking and medium- to long-term preparation. Against this background, StudyValley has strengths in “exploration content” that tackles a wide variety of corporate-type challenges and “exploration support technology” equipped with generative AI, and has a field where students can deepen their learning and prepare for university entrance exams. We will jointly offer courses on the theme of inquiry learning, leveraging the know-how of Kawaijuku, which has strengths in supporting students. Through the course, high school students will acquire the skills necessary to solve problems and will have the opportunity to think deeply about their future. Furthermore, by providing consistent support until university entrance exams, such as assistance in choosing a faculty/department and writing a statement of purpose, we contribute to improving career awareness and promote fulfilling career decisions.
