The Graduate School of Education initially entered into an
Academia-government Collaboration Agreement to Promote Education with
Bizen City on November 10, 2021, agreeing to develop a new e-learning
system called Micro-step Study (*1) that would be made available to
Bizen City. However, it was determined that a more comprehensive
agreement was needed to tackle various local challenges facing the
region, one that would oversee the promotion of local industries,
community development and the achievement of the SDGs.
As of March 31, 2022, the aims, purposes and content of the initial
agreement will come under the terms of the new, more comprehensive
agreement, which covers the following: promoting the new e-learning
system and providing user support, promoting the local industry to
revitalize the city center, promoting community development through
upgraded public transportation and marketing to attract tourists and
achieving SDGs by studying a model for local production and consumption
of energy at the regional level.
After the signing ceremony, President Makino commented that, “Bizen City
has a wealth of local resources and substantial infrastructure. I
believe that we can achieve the SDGs locally by working together and
utilizing these assets, thereby becoming a role model for Local SDGs
(*2) that will inspire not only the rest of the prefecture, but the rest
of the country, and possibly even the rest of the world.” Mayor
Yoshimura stated, “By sharing knowledge and resources with Okayama
University, I believe that this agreement will have a positive effect on
various aspects of life in Bizen City, including community development,
education, industry, and medical treatment.”
