Department of Sport Education for Children

Introduction

Declining scholastic ability and physical fitness, bullying, non-attendance and breakdown of classroom discipline are some of the many problems that have been identified in Japan’s schools in recent years.

Other burgeoning issues of national significance, such as the declining birthrate coupled with ageing population and environmental concerns, are combining with these school-related problems to make the question of how to educate our school-age children critically important.

The Department of Sport Education for Children seeks to address the problems in our schools and a range of related issues through a curriculum that, with its focus mainly on the fields of physical education and sporting activities, aims to cultivate talented teachers who possess both a high degree of specialization as educators and specific proficiencies in educational practice.
