Closing
This conference is the first conference to be held under the leadership of our new Director General Yumiko Kaneko and represents an abiding desire to respect the wishes of our founding Director General, Mrs Yoshiko Nomura, who had ended the series of National Conferences on Lifelong Integrated Education, which started in 1970 and continued up to the International Forum '98 in 1998, after completing the series with its thirtieth conference to give incentives to respective regions to take initiative to promote educational reform.
This conference was also the first the Center had hosted in the Tohoku region and members of the various Tohoku branches and chapters, including Hokkaido, undertook critical self-examination while energetically calling for conference participation with the assistance from the Center's headquarters and other regions. Their efforts brought the presence of some 500 people in the conference hall on the day.
On this day the Children and Infant Division spent an enjoyable day holding a separate programme in parallel with the main conference.
Keynote Address and Q&A Session by D. G. Kaneko and four Personal Reports are reported in our English organ "Nomura Center News No.37". (200 Japanese Yen/copy)
