Zero localities hiring information teachers

[Lack of teachers specializing in “information”: hasty training → no progress in hiring：Asahi Shimbun Digital

8 prefectures with zero hiring of information science teachers in the five years through FY21

There are many in urban areas, but most in rural areas are in single digits. 8 prefectures had zero hires in 5 years, 6 prefectures hired for the first time in FY 2008, and 4 prefectures hired for the first time in FY 2009. Akita, Shiga, and Kagoshima have not hired a single person since 2003, when information became a required course.
