Purpose of the Establishment of HUE RISE
The Research Institute for Remote and Small School Education (HUE RISE) aims to upgrade the studies of remote and small school education, based on those results, assist training and upgrading of teachers in remote and small schools, and share the results of the studies nationwide.
Background of HUE RISE
HUE RISE was newly established in April 2018 after several series of organizational restructuring in HUE. Its origins can be traced back to when HUE was first formed in 1949.
HUE RISE was established for the following three reasons:
1. In the time of increasing depopulation and scaled back schools in Japan, the
development of teachers who can undertake education in remote and small
schools has become more important.
