Kumamoto City has decided to introduce kimino micata in the Kumamoto City &#8220;Child Consultation Project&#8221; where a demonstration experiment was conducted, and full-scale development of the project has begun. Based on global standards, kimino micata is an initiative to protect children&#8217;s rights and respect their wishes, and its special feature is the effective use of over 200 questions. With the number of abuse, truancy and bullying consultations at a record high (\u203b3), we will contribute to the realization of a society where children can live in peace.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-0710fa4 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"0710fa4\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a432286\" data-id=\"a432286\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7461844 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7461844\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">\u25fe\ufe0fkimino micata,<\/span> an SOS communication support system for children, as part of the <span class=\"s1\">&#8220;Child Consultation Project&#8221;.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d4c1f15 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d4c1f15\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f7b8242\" data-id=\"f7b8242\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-80d51a1 elementor-button-info elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"80d51a1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/guardian-jp.com\/en\/kimino-micata\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Learn more about kimino micata here!<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-92634ad elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"92634ad\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5e0a889\" data-id=\"5e0a889\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0217887 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"0217887\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*!

A situation where questionnaires addressing issues like bullying are placed on teacher\u2019s desks in plain sight is unthinkable in the U.K. Taking into the consideration of the workload of teachers, I thought it was necessary to create an environment where children could answer the questionnaires without feeling anxious (<span class=\"s1\">\u203b<\/span>4).<\/p><p class=\"p1\">On the other hand, a survey by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has shown that questionnaires are the most effective tool for detecting bullying and abuse <span class=\"s1\">(<\/span>\u203b<span class=\"s1\">5)<\/span>. Therefore, we began commercializing the service to protect the personal information of children and students, and to disseminate it easily to teachers working to solve problems.

The increase in bullying is thought to be resulting from club activities and school events, which had been curtailed due to the COVID-19, have been resumed, increasing opportunities for contact, and the understanding of the positive recognition of bullying has spread. In response to these results, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology is reportedly working with the Child and Family Agency to take countermeasures.<\/p><p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u203b<\/span>4) Issues related to the current school questionnaire environment<\/p><ul class=\"ul1\"><li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s2\">Personal data is not protected.<\/span><\/li><li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s2\">I don&#8217;t know what the problem is other than cyberbullying.<\/span><\/li><li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s2\">It is difficult to write the truth.<\/span><\/li><li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s2\">The content of the questionnaire varies from school to school.<\/span><\/li><li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s2\">Teachers are busy and have a lot of work to do.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p class=\"p1\">\u203b5) Results of the 2022 survey on various student guidance issues such as problematic behaviour and truancy of pupils (released on 4 October 2023 by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology &#8211; Children&#8217;s Division, Elementary and Secondary Education Bureau).\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000(1st) &#8220;Discovered through school initiatives such as questionnaires&#8221; at 51.4%, (2nd) complaints from the pupil (himself\/herself) at 19.2% and (3rd) complaints from the parents of the pupil (himself\/herself) concerned at 11.8%, which is far ahead of the second place and below.
