Business overview
As the “high school-university connection reform” progresses, the “High School and University Faculty Exchange Program” was launched in 2018 to help resolve issues faced by each school and improve education.
Until the 14th event, it was called the “Kyoto High School Teacher Exchange Meeting” and was held with the aim of sharing ideas and concerns about school and homeroom management, lesson improvement, etc., regardless of school or institution, and interacting toward solutions. From
the 15th event, the name was changed to the “Kyoto High School and University Faculty Exchange Meeting” and it is now held for faculty and staff from both high schools and universities as a place to share ideas and concerns about issues faced by both high schools and universities, deepen mutual understanding, and interact toward solutions beyond positions.

Implementation Report
This year, the event was held as an opportunity for high school teachers and university faculty to interact and exchange opinions on the impact that inquiry learning, including “comprehensive inquiry time,” has on learning from high school to university, how to design inquiry learning based on the perspective of high school-university connection, and the exchange between subject inquiry and comprehensive inquiry time.
The 19th and 20th events were held in a hybrid format, as in the previous year, with both face-to-face and online sessions. Even after the program ended, lively exchanges of opinions continued between case presenters and participants, which allowed for the participants to deepen their mutual understanding, which was the purpose of the exchange event.
Another notable feature of this year was that there were many university students who hope to become teachers. By having not only high school and university faculty but also university students who aim to become teachers participate, it is expected that the circle of exchange will expand and issues will be shared and solved from a more diverse perspective.
This exchange event will continue to be held regularly in the next fiscal year, aiming to establish the program at high schools and universities in Kyoto Prefecture, and to further deepen understanding and connections between high schools and universities.
The 19th event had 12 participants in person and 13 online, for a total of 25 people, and the 20th event had 20 participants in person and 16 online, for a total of 36 people, making it a meaningful opportunity for interaction for both high school and university students.
