54 Education: Laying the Foundation
Education is one of the cornerstones of a
person’s development, whether you are an
adult trying to adjust to life in another
country or a small child discovering everything
there is to know about this wonderful world.
In many ways, the learning processes of adults
and children are the same, and that is why we
have decided to focus on education in this
particular issue. Over the next few pages,
we profile a handful of recommended full-
and part-time courses that are available at
various language institutions in Tokyo, before
turning our attention further afield to nationwide
educational options that are open to parents seeking
to ensure their kids’ futures are secure.
