  • Learning embodies an open n sharing culture through teacher collaboration to allow self-critical reflection across levels and not belittling individual. 
  • Japan adopted a shared “frugal” curriculum where students are given enough time for self-explorative learning with fewer topics compared to the US counter-parts. However, that can be a tough choice to make and striking that fine balance. It should also be reviewed at a national level but there is already a positive step by MOE to diffuse the focus on results to hopefully create a greater joy for learning among the students in the years to come.
