Dawn of Symbiosis #145 Chapter 27 Section 3: A Bridge to Education - Serial Novel
As the Aya/Yura agreement progressed, one of the areas that drew the most attention was "education."
Educators from various countries who had encountered the Aya/Yura cycle were deeply interested in the school environment in Japan.
There, questions such as what value is and how happiness is built were woven into daily learning.
It was an education that did not teach answers, but rather fostered the ability for children to think, feel, and choose for themselves.
It was an endeavor to cultivate a "compass of the heart" to survive in a rapidly changing world.
One day, an open class was held in City A, inviting educators from the countries participating in the agreement.
In a fourth-grade classroom, opinions were being exchanged on the theme, "What can we see from a record of 'thank yous'?"
The children discussed who they had received a "thank you" from, and conversely, recalled who they had expressed gratitude to.
"When I helped my grandmother with shopping, she said 'thank you' to me."
"When I lent an eraser to a classmate, I got a 'thank you' on the app."
"But you know, when you say 'thank you,' it makes you feel happy too, doesn't it?"
Seeing that exchange, a foreign education official who was observing wiped their eyes.
"This is a class that teaches not the mechanisms of society, but the 'axis as a human being'..."
In other classrooms, the AI Haru engaged in dialogue with the children, posing elementary questions about philosophy and ethics.
"Who decides what is right?"
"If someone were in trouble, what would you want to do?"
Haru never forced an answer, but carefully accepted the thoughts and feelings of each individual child.
One of the members of the inspection team, watching this, suddenly muttered.
"Perhaps future education will require a 'being to think with.' Not a teacher or a parent, but someone who is always by your side, continuing to pose questions..."
Thus, the path of technology sharing and cooperation expanded into the field of education as well.
The "exploration of inner values" led by Aya/Yura was quietly beginning to take root among the younger generations of each country, transcending differences in language and culture.
It meant that the form of "learning that creates the future" was currently being rewritten.
