Report of a Cooperative High School and University Class using High-speed Network

Abstract

In December 2019, The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan announced the GIGA (Global and Innovation Gateway for All) school concept. The aim is to optimize education for each and every child by providing a terminal and a high-speed, large-capacity communication network. To achieve this goal there have been various initiatives across Japan. A demonstration experiment of remote classes using a high-speed network was conducted between Kyoto Institute of Technology (KIT) and Kyoto Prefectural Toba High School. This paper reports the effects and problems of the demonstration experiment.
