The Future of Japan: A Case for Abolishing Prefectures and Establishing States
Nobuo Sasaki
Professor Emeritus, Chuo University
The duty of the government is to design a framework of the nation that is appropriate for the age. Times have changed dramatically 150 years after the Meiji Restoration (1868). As Japan faces the problem of an all-out population decline, I believe it's time to seriously debate how to approach a new way of building our nation.

Do educators have pre-established knowledge?
Junichi Nakamoto
Specially Appointed Professor, Faculty of Letters, Chuo University
In school and college education, educators are always mulling over how to instruct learners effectively. I have given this title as an essential question toward educators, and many scholars have discussed it. As I train teachers in this university, I would like to focus on this question by going back to the basics.
It would be my pleasure if there were any areas that readers could resonate over the discussion below.
