Strengthening Ties: GHJ International Hosts Partner School from the Philippines

Nagasaki, Japan - Spring blossomed with the spirit of international collaboration for GHJ International as they warmly welcomed their partner school, St. Mary’s College Quezon City from the Philippines, for a visit to Japan from April 9th to 13th. This exciting exchange fostered connections and explored opportunities across multiple cities.

The itinerary showcased the vibrant educational landscape of Japan. In Munakata, Fukuoka, the visiting teachers had the opportunity to engage with key institutions, including Global Arena, the University of Teacher Education Fukuoka, and the Munakata City Hall, with a special focus on the Bureau of Education. These interactions undoubtedly provided valuable insights into the Japanese education system and potential areas for future partnership.
