Neat Continues to Be Selected for MEXT's School DX Strategy Advisor Program in FY2026

Attention is growing in educational institutions for remote learning as a means to enable diverse learning experiences across regions, such as school collaboration and shared specialized curricula. The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT)'s 'N-E.X.T. High School Vision' also emphasizes the importance of establishing new learning environments through ICT.

Neatframe Inc. (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Hisanaga Yanagisawa) announces its continued listing as a support provider for MEXT's 'School DX Strategy Advisor Program' in FY2026.

To date, the company has supported the development of remote learning environments in educational institutions across Japan, including Aomori, Mie, and Oita prefectures.

The 'Connectivity Infrastructure Between Schools' Demanded by the N-E.X.T. High School Vision

The N-E.X.T. High School Vision outlines the following directions for high school education reform with a vision toward 2040:

- Practical learning linked with local industries - Advanced STEM education in collaboration with universities and research institutions - Guaranteed access to diverse learning opportunities regardless of region or distance

To achieve these goals, a remote communication environment connecting schools, universities, businesses, and local communities is essential.

However, challenges have been reported in actual classroom settings, such as:

- Poor audio clarity - Difficulty identifying who is speaking - Inability to perceive the overall classroom situation - Complex equipment operation leading to high teacher workload

What Educational Institutions Need: 'Sustainable Remote Learning'

Neat prioritizes not only high-quality video and audio but also simple operability that allows teachers and students to use the system without requiring specialized knowledge.

More important than merely introducing remote learning is ensuring its sustained use.

Neat supports the realization of inter-school collaboration, shared specialized subjects, and diverse learning by establishing audio-visual environments designed for practical, everyday use in educational settings.

Comment

"The N-E.X.T. High School Vision calls for diverse learning experiences through connections among schools, local communities, universities, and businesses.

Remote learning environments are indispensable for achieving this vision, yet in practice, many institutions struggle with sustainability due to issues such as 'poor audio quality' and 'difficult operation.'

We aim not only to provide equipment but to support the creation of remote learning environments that teachers and students can use seamlessly in their daily routines.

Furthermore, beyond the N-E.X.T. High School Vision, we will continue contributing through the School DX Strategy Advisor Program to initiatives that ensure high-quality education is accessible to educational institutions nationwide, regardless of location."

Hisanaga Yanagisawa Representative Director, Neatframe Inc.
