Visited Taimei Elementary School in Tokyo.
I sat in the 136-year old school as a student, wanting to learn more about the Japanese education system including how their salient features can be blended in our education system.
It is now accepted that the 21st century will be Asia's century and we have to prepare ourselves for that. Asian countries must learn each other's languages and values. In India schools are offering Japanese as a language option but there is a shortage of teachers. Japan can take up an initiative of teaching Japanese language online. Similarly, Indian languages can be introduced in Japan as well. This will help both our nations.
