Abstract
The number of students with Sri Lankan roots is rapidly increasing in Sammu City, Chiba. Accordingly, educational support staff have been assigned to local schools. In our analysis of semi-structured interviews with Sri Lankan and Japanese educational staff, we clarify challenges that they face. Sri Lankan educational staff exhibit skills and approaches that are not found among Japanese educational staff: they provide support based upon an understanding of cultural differences and incorporate empathy in their support work.
