Career education at high schools that will be required in the future

- To support high school students’ "Way of living their lives"-

Abstract

　Our country's education system is making a rapid progress. With information inundating us, and with IT systematizations being driven forward, the future paths that are open to children today are very diverse when compared with how it was some time ago. The future paths not only include academic paths, but career paths as well. This is why providing career guidance for children is desirable because it can be a huge support for those who are worried about their future. High school period is the time when students start having a higher desire to be independent and self-supporting, and since the Coming-of-Age Day is approaching, and that they have more opportunities to get involved in society, there will be many high school students who seek for the right future path during this high school period. This is the reason why the roles that students expect their teachers to take are becoming more crucial than ever before, and that the teachers are expected to guide students while considering the students’ "ways of living their lives". I would like to write about the relevance of transitions of the career guidance to the career counselling, as well as the facts about the career education that will be required from now on.
