2015 National Institute for Educational Policy Research, Seminar on Educational Facilities Research

Like Japan, Switzerland is a small country with few natural resources, but ranks among the economic powers of the world. Swiss has done well and ranks high in the OECD-PISA(Programme for International Student Assessment). In Switzerland, the municipalities have autonomy over education so they can make educational policies that match the community. School architecture is valued as a symbolic facility to carry on tradition and support the community and gathering local power to “create schools as the core for the community” is a tradition in Switzerland. In the 150th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Switzerland and Japan, this year’s Seminar on Educational Facilities Research will be held under the theme “Creating Schools as the Core for the Community - School Architecture in Japan and Switzerland -”, aiming for a new perspective for Japan’s future school architecture, to learn from Swiss experience and exchange of research between both countries, through coordination with relative organizations and inviting experts from both countries.
