Metaverse Based Schooling

To encourage local students, particularly those who live far away from school, the Japanese city of Toda has reportedly implemented a new metaverse based schooling service.

However, students must obtain permission from their respective school principals to attend metaverse schooling and will be supervised at all times.

The city chose this new schooling service that enables students to explore the campus and study in virtual classrooms primarily because of both the mainstream attention being given to the metaverse concept these days and the potential that it has for the education industry.

Furthermore, whereas various attempts to boost school attendance continue to be difficult in the country, Japanese officials are betting on metaverse based education to help students connect with those around them.

Todas education center director, Sugimori Masayuki, hopes to see metaverse students grow up and eventually become an integral part of Japans technologically advanced society. To that end, the city of Fukuoka recently announced a partnership with Astar Japan Labs as it strives to become Japans Web3 hub.
