TEIGEN JP is founding a Clean Education Division, treating cleaning time in elementary schools as time in which children build a social sense at the age when character forms, and working to make that understood.
The program came out of a high school member who, having studied abroad, found that schools elsewhere often have no system of children cleaning at all. Thinking about what cleaning is for from a comparative angle, it is a practical program for protecting, over the long run, what this country looks like, the eye its people have for it, and the habit of working together.
Masatsugu Goto, a third-year high school student, takes over as manager, with six high school members interested in education and regional renewal. The curriculum is being developed with the cooperation of Duskin Co., Ltd.
The class covers why the work is divided as it is, the basics of hygiene and safety, and where responsibility for keeping a space looking right actually sits — so that it goes beyond making things clean and builds both cooperation and an eye for the shared environment.
