Abstract

The members of the JACTFL (Japan Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages) executive board, President Mr. YAMAZAKI Y., Prof. USUYAMA T. and Mr. MOGI T. paid a visit to the Tokyo Metropolitan Board of Education on November 28, 2019 in order to appeal directly to the key person on decision-making process in the Tokyo Metropolitan Government (TMG). We made a request to keep supporting the multi-lingual education and the international exchange programs and to continue their financial funding after the Olympic Paralympic Games. Mr. UDA Takeshi, Special Advisor on Education of Tokyo Metropolitan Board of Education of TMG, mentioned the importance of the multi-lingual education policy in school education (focused on English education) long before and articulated his intention to continue supporting it after Tokyo 2020 Games.
