In recent years, diversification is progressing in all aspects of the world.

Even if you look at the educational scene in Japan, from elementary education to higher education, diversity is progressing even in the classrooms of all kinds of schools.On the other hand, it has been pointed out that Japanese school education tends to ``treat everyone in the same class,'' which makes it difficult for children who need consideration or special support to learn.

Under such circumstances, how should we respond appropriately and provide a place for learning?

In Japanese schools as well, the shift to a "learner-centered" approach to teaching is gaining ground.
