In the Noto region, which suffered severe damage, there are some schools that have no plans to reopen, and there are also moves by junior high and high school students to leave their parents’ homes and take secondary evacuations to Kanazawa City, making it difficult for children to continue learning. It has become one.
Since January 3rd, after the disaster, Katariba has been conducting local child support needs surveys and managing children’s shelters. During this time, many children who had undergone secondary
evacuations complained that they were unable to study because they had left behind their textbooks and workbooks. Furthermore, while junior high and high school students living in Kanazawa City are progressing with their studies, some children who have been evacuated to secondary evacuations are unable to study and are worried and worried that they will be left behind.
In light of this situation, Katariba operates multiple children’s shelters in Ishikawa Prefecture to support children affected by the disaster. Katariba provides computers and tablets to children who need devices to study while operating Isho Isho. atama plus supports Katariba’s philosophy and has been involved in six programs to support children’s learning since 2020. In this initiative, atama+ will be provided free of charge. Using computers, tablets, and Wi-Fi lent by Katariba, children can study with atama+ without restrictions on grade or subject.
Atama Plus will continue to work with Katariba to expand the circle of learning support for children affected by the disaster and fulfill its social responsibility.
