A tablet deployed by the Narashino City Board of Education to students.The keyboard part can be removed

　In the plan of a country where one information terminal is deployed to elementary and junior high school students, the Chiba Prefecture Narashino City Board of Education distributed a form of consent, such as requesting parents for electricity bills when lending.However, some parents have heard that "it is a compulsory education and it is strange to seek the cost of the family", and some parents have refused to submit the consent form.Some schools have been distributed with other consent forms that do not include the electricity bill, and some parents say, "What is the burden on the electricity bill?"The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology explains, "It is a terminal used by school and basically you will be charged at school."

　In response to the GIGA School Concept, elementary and junior high schools nationwide were almost deployed by tablet terminals and personal computers by the end of March this year.With the expansion of the new colon virus, it is also expected to be used in online education.

　This spring, Narashino City Board of Education has distributed a "consent form on the use of tablet terminals" for parents through 23 elementary and junior high schools in municipalities.The rules and precautions for use were listed, and the signing of children and parents was signing.

Agreement (partially) distributed by Narashino City Board of Education for parents.The third item has a burden on the electricity

　Some of the parents repelled the document because there were items such as "Charging to tablet terminals at home".In addition, some schools have been distributed with different consent forms without this item, and some parents have doubt about the response of the City Board of Education.

Agreement (partially) without an item for the electricity bill was also distributed.

　The Narashino City Board of Education reports on the newspaper, saying, "I want the tablet to be taken home, so I want you to charge at home in principle."The charger is also based on placing a charger at home, and if the battery level decreases when used at school, the school will be charged as appropriate.

　The fact that there is a school where the agreement is omitted with the item for the electricity bill is said to be that Kazuaki Yasumura, director of the Narashino City General Education Center, said, "A non -formal sentence examined at the stage of creating the consent form.It was accidentally distributed at some schools. "If a omitted consent form is submitted, it will distribute an agreement that contains items that require the burden.Parents who refuse the consent have continued to persuade and cannot take them home if they refuse.

　Parents who question the home burden of electricity bills have said, "I have a question to charge at home until the use at school," and "I am going to charge at school in neighboring cities."There is.

　In such a situation, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's Information Education and Foreign Language Education Division pointed out that "the basics are charged at school."However, it is assumed that you can take your terminal home and use it for a long time at home, but if you interfere with the next class class, you may be charged at home. Therefore, parents.I want you to talk in advance and respond to schools and other places. "

　A national concept that deploys one information terminal per person for elementary and junior high school students nationwide.In addition to the development of high -speed large -capacity communication networks, we aim to realize an educational ICT (information and communication technology) environment.When the Cabinet was decided in December 2019, the plan was to be deployed one by one by FY2023, but the plan was to go ahead due to the need for school holidays and online education associated with new colonovirus.It was done.
