ECO: Yutori (less strenuous) education

I. Issue and reason

We are very concerned about Yutori education because in schools now many things are being cut from the textbooks. Textbooks are starting to have many illustrations and are easy to understand. So, we are very surprised about this. In addition, many parents are worried about this. So, we don’t think it is good to continue this program.

II. Causes

1) One cause of this problem is the style of education before. It is the style which forces children to study. In this education system, many children felt stressed about learning and children grew tired of it.

2) Another cause is that schools don’t reach enough children, so many parents make their children go to cram school too.

3) Finally, if studying is not forced by schools, most students become lazy. They would probably spend their free time watching TV or playing games. It is connected to the decline in academic ability.

III. Solutions

1) One solution to this problem is that schools must have lessons on the weekends or after school. By doing this, we can make schools where parents feel relieved.

2) Another solution is that teachers must teach children morals instead of Yutori education. This is because we often see on the news that there are many crimes committed by children. This is probably because they don’t have enough knowledge of good and evil. Also, teachers must learn morals/ethics and study it as well.
