Good/Bad Features of LGESJ

A site I chose is that of Liberal and General Education Society of Japan (LGESJ). This organization sets a study theme to work on as a society and organizes Research Council for its promotion. It also holds symposiums at project study meetings to share results of research.
 
Good aspects of the LGESJ website are...

1. Research Councils are held at frequent intervals and also well-reported
2. Well organized and up-to-date information are provided in easy to understand ways

Poor aspects of the LGSEJ website are...

1. Activity reports are not fluently written
2. Bulletins of the academic society can not be read without registration as a subscriber
3. Few visual supports / viewpoints

Hello everyone, we are Haruka and Alisa, and we are students at a private university in Tokyo.

We started this blog to study and learn more about the pros and cons of private university and college education.
We are interested in this topic because we feel that there is a big gap between foreign and Japanese education.

When a person who graduated an Ivy League school can get a very high paying job at an top level global company. On the contrary, a person who graduated an top level Japanese univeristy cannot get into an top level global company.

Why is that?

are we wasting out time, dreaming to be able to work at such companies?

 

 

 

We will be up posting entries atleast once a week, talking about problems within and out Japan about its educational problems.

 

 

 

Is it all about the money?

 

 

Since we just chose out topic today(5/8) we do not have that many information about this issue, but our current pros and cons are:

PRO

college/university education is necessary to get a decent job.

It is important to study a variety of things in order to have background knowledge on various issues.

 

CON

The level of education differs from the price of each school and its teachers

The higher the level of school, the expencive it gets.

We don't study things that are necessary in real life job.

 

 

Please, please give us your opinions, questions, or any sorts of comments :)

This is our classroom!!!
