Support for education
As part of our education support activities, we support Leave a Nest Co., Ltd. for publishing their magazines including “someone”, a science magazine for high school students, and the “Education Support Project” magazine, which is distributed through lab activities to 5,300 high schools and 11,000 junior high schools throughout the nation.
We are an education support company, which support activities to develop future human resources by giving opportunities to children to stimulate their ‘curiosity’ through publishing science magazines and providing state of art science lab activities.
Other activities include publishing free magazine “Passing Exam Supplement”, which is issued by the Tokyo University students to support high school students in the earthquake stricken area of Tohoku.
