Manabi Tetsugaku launches teacher training for holistic admissions

Manabi Tetsugaku Co., Ltd., based in Machida, Tokyo, has launched a new teacher training service designed to bridge the gap between inquiry-based learning and comprehensive selection (holistic) university admissions. The program aims to democratize the specialized knowledge required for holistic admissions, which often remains as tacit knowledge held by individual instructors rather than being institutionalized within schools.

The training utilizes a knowledge graph of over 300 skills identified by CEO Rintaro Abe. This allows schools to create customized programs focusing on critical thinking, academic skills, and practical application in areas such as statement of purpose guidance, interview preparation, and career counseling. The curriculum is structured across three levels—understanding, practice, and mastery—to ensure educators can adapt their guidance to different students and scenarios.

Additionally, the company is accepting applications for school lectures scheduled between December 2026 and February 2027. These 50-minute sessions, titled ‘Unraveling Misunderstandings Regarding the Connection Between Inquiry and Comprehensive Selection,’ are available for both students and teachers via in-person visits or online formats.
