Step outside your cultural comfort zone and embark on a thought-provoking journey with The International Classroom podcast. We explore the diverse education systems worldwide, revealing unexpected insights and sparking new ideas.
In this episode, we take a look into Japan's moral education system. While seemingly a recent development, its roots run deep, intertwining with Japanese culture and history. We uncover the challenges this system faces, like the tension between valuing group harmony and fostering critical thinking, and the pressure-cooker environment of Japan's academic system.
But it's not just about Japan. By examining another culture's approach to education, we hold a mirror to our own values and assumptions. We question what truly matters in education and how we can better prepare future generations not just for school, but for life.
