context: Good story about the “Public” textbook from Teikoku Shoin.
nishio “The curriculum for public subjects in high schools is based on the new Courses of Study that began in April 2022… lowering the voting age to 18 or older. In response to this, the aim is to learn about elections and other political participation, as well as to learn about social security, contracts, family systems, employment, consumer behavior, and other things that are necessary in society.” I see!
nishio It’s more like the old curriculum, where you didn’t learn about the public by age 18 and were somehow expected to understand the public by age 20.
This page is auto-translated from /nishio/高校の新科目『公共』 using DeepL. If you looks something interesting but the auto-translated English is not good enough to understand it, feel free to let me know at @nishio_en. I’m very happy to spread my thought to non-Japanese readers.
