Sponsored by FSA and Tricor! IST will be guest speakers at Int'l Schools and Boarding Schools Seminar

The Financial Services Agency (FSA) and Tricor Japan, which supports the overseas expansion of companies, will hold online seminars on Thursday, November 10 and Thursday, November 17 to provide an in-depth look at international schools and boarding schools in Japan.The editors of eduJUMP! have also been confirmed as guest speakers.

The theme is "International Education Options from Preschool to Higher Education in Japan."

In addition to explaining the world's two major curricula, the International Baccalaureate (IB) and Cambridge International, 49 leading international schools and boarding schools in Japan are introduced at a glance.

This is the first ever online seminar that will serve as a "Guide to International Education" covering preschool through higher education.

The Japanese government aims to establish Japan as an "international financial center" open to the world, and is seeking to attract human resources, companies, and capital through various approaches, including tax incentives and financial deregulation.

FSA has positioned the state of "international education" as an important factor in attracting financial businesses and financial experts from around the world. By holding this seminar, we aim to provide the latest information and deepen understanding of Japan's international education environment.

FSA's "Int'l schools and Boarding schools Online Seminar" is designed to inform the world about the educational infrastructure in Japan. We look forward to your participation.

*This seminar is a "special" edition of the webinar series that the FSA is holding to promote the "International Financial Center" concept. Not only financial service providers, but also any corporation or individual is welcome to participate.

*The theme for both days is the same, but the language (English on the 10th, Japanese on the 17th) and speakers are different. You can attend each day only.
