Assisting the Association of Prefectural Board of Education Chairpesons

The Association of Prefectural Board of Education Chairpersons, maintaining routine links between Boards of Education throughout Japan, conducts various activities to aim for the implementation of education administration goals. As part of these activities, Chairpersons of Prefectural Boards of Education from all over Japan visit countries implementing advanced educational activities twice per year. During these visits, delegations conduct fact-finding visits on the host country’s education platform through visits to educational administrative bodies and schools, exchanges of viewpoints and on-the-ground observance.

This time, to learn about the education platform in Australia, a delegation lead by the Chairperson of the Association together with four Prefectural Board of Education Chairpersons conducted relevant research and visits in Sydney and Canberra.

Places visited by the association were as follows:.

• NSW Department of Education and Communities
• Abbotsford Public School
• Sydney Secondary College Balmain Campus
• Sydney Secondary College Blackwattle Bay Campus
• Sir Eric Woodward Memorial School
• Board of Studies NSW
• NSW Institute of Teachers
• Australian Government, Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations
