### **■ Teachers are not administrative staff**

According to the OECD's "Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS 2024)," the weekly working hours for Japanese teachers are 52.1 hours for elementary school and 55.1 hours for junior high school, the longest among participating countries and regions. Nevertheless, much of that time is spent not on direct interaction with classes or students, but on grading, grade processing, document creation, and various administrative tasks.

Teachers stand at the podium because they want to support the growth of children, not to do detailed administrative work.

We want to change this situation.

### **■ The Future We Aim For**

Our company is working to improve operational efficiency in the education field through the development and provision of the digital grading service "testus."

testus is a service that utilizes AI technology to support the automation of grading tasks, including handwritten answer sheets. It supports not only multiple-choice questions but also long-form answers, mathematical formulas, and vertical writing, and can be widely used regardless of subject.

However, our dream does not stop at "automating grading."

**To reduce all administrative tasks related to tests—not just grading, but also all preparation and post-processing, and even general school affairs—to as close to zero as possible with the power of AI.**

That is the future we aim for.

Without teachers being rushed by test preparations, staying late for grade processing, or having their time taken away by repetitive administrative tasks—

**"What should I do for tomorrow's class?" "How should I talk to that child?"**

We want to create schools where teachers can think only about such things.

### **■ A Small Company's Big Commitment**

Micro Simulation Inc. is a select group of software development company.
