For those who want to transform a society facing complex challenges through "inquiry"
In education up to high school, there is usually only one correct answer. However, in reality, most problems involve "the majority of correct answers" or "no correct answer, or 'the correct answer is not known.'" For this reason, we expect you to be independent of established knowledge and techniques, and to seek answers on your own. Modern society is an unpredictable era. At College of Education and Social Transformation, we steadily acquire research skills such as survey statistics to solve problems, address social issues, and aim to "grow ourselves, connect people, and foster people who make society better."
