In today's class, we were introduced to a certain article claiming paper textbooks' relevance to modern education. The person who stated these exaggerated things was a 60-year old professor from the University of Meji and this could be the perfect explanation as to why the level of Japanese education is so behind. Even though this is one of the top-class universities in Japan, it's a shame that everything taught there and done there is so old-fashioned compared to other foreign universities/colleges. Although I do respect his idea, I do not think it is a significant opinion in our modern generation.
The rapid development of technology and devices have changed how students learn. Not only is it modern, but by utilizing the internet, we are provided with an unlimited amount of information in the palm of our hands. Such an astounding gadget should be a necessity, but Japan is doing the complete opposite of this. I just feel like there are still so many top representatives in Japan's society who have an outdated way of thinking and are still heavily biased in many areas. For this to change, there needs to be a change in the way our society is configured.
