Hiroshima University

Monday moring we went to visit Hiroshima University. This University is well known in Japan because of it's teacher education program. We were welcomed by the President and the Vice President of the University, we also had the chance to speak to two of the education prefessors. They had some very interstering views on the education of the children of Japan, amazingly enough they are trying to learn how we educate our students. Many current reforms the Japanese educational system has experienced are modeled after the U.S.

Who would have thought. We look up to their educational system so much, I was suprised they look up to us also.
