The Ideal School: My Vision -- Yusuke

Speaking of my ideal school, I would like to state that students in university should be able to change their major even after they enter university. The system of university is quite different depending on the country, but it’s difficult to change our faculty after entering university in Japan because when we want to change our major, we usually need to take the entrance examinations again. It’s troublesome for most of the students, so they aren’t likely to change their faculty even if they find it boring after entering. I’ll give some reasons to support my idea.

 

First, I feel that it’s challenging to find a major which every student has an interest in because students have to prepare for the entrance examination as well as consider their interests. Consequently, they face the trouble that they don’t have enough time to find their interests before entering university.

 

Second, it’s not sensible to decide on a major without trying classes. This was true of my experience. Once I started taking classes in my Japanese university, I found more theoretical than I imagined. I hoped to learn something practical. However, I didn’t realize this fact until I took these classes.

 

For these reasons, I want Japanese universities to change the major system. In terms of the satisfaction of students, I’m confident that it’ll be a positive change for Japanese universities.

    I'm sure that is very controversial topic. In my university, we can change our class that we have chosen even if these classed have already started. We can change our classes as long as within 2 weeks. I hope you will enjoy yourself in your Japanese university as well!

    I agree with your opinion. It will become terrible life people can't change faculty even they want to change.

    I think that's a great idea! I haven't decided my job that I want to be. I'm studying English for now, but my mind might going to be change. For that situation, I think that is great system.

    The education system has already set. But we could find some ways to extend our skills and interests which are useful in the future.

The Ideal School: My Vision -- Riko

                  Since before, some people consider that academic subjects (math, science, biology, history, geography, etc.) are the most important. In addition to this, these days, the 4Cs (critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication) are regarded as essential. Although it is true that these subjects and perspectives are extremely important for life, I suppose that it is also significant to learn skills and abilities at a school to live independently.                 This kind of school would have high quality of teaching about housework as much as academic school. Students at the school could learn how to cook, grow plants, make and fix things with some equipment and tools such as kitchens, electric drills, etc.). One of the advantages of this style is that the students would not tend to be bored because they can learn about many fields widely. Moreover, these skills are essential to live by oneself. One of the reasons of this is that doing things by oneself c

I’m Jimmy from Taiwan. I came to New Zealand to learn English, experience different lifestyles, and try working abroad using my working holiday visa. Now I am in homestay in Green Island with the Morris family. This is my second time in New Zealand. Last time in Dunedin I just passed through this city, but now I have joined the general English course at the University of Otago. By learning in a foreign university environment, I want to improve my English level to increase the chances of future employment. By the way, It also means that I could have more time to appreciate the beauty and culture of Dunedin. So far I found there are a lot of attractive Scottish style architectures and nature sceneries, and I think the weather in Dunedin is very changable. I have already finished my Masters Degree in food science and biotechnology. My favorite subject was food chemistry, because I could understand the principles of how food changes. I like to play badminton, tennis, go mountain climbi
