Wednesday September 27, 7:05 PMEnglish education at elementary level unnecessary: minister(Kyodo) _ New education minister Bummei Ibuki said Wednesday it is not necessary to make English a mandatory subject at elementary schools in Japan."I do not see the necessity at all," the minister of education, culture, sports, science and technology told reporters. "There is no use studying English unless children speak beautiful Japanese." The Central Education Council is now discussing English education at elementary level. Ibuki said, "Those who want to study English from elementary level can do so individually. I believe (elementary) schools only have to make children develop an interest in foreign countries." |
