PROSPECTUS FOR THE Global TEKIJUKU PROMOTION ASSOCIATION
(Present "The Global Tekijuku" Promotion Association")

We began this new century with expectations towards restructuring out of the "lost decade" in which Japan seemed to stand still. Unfortunately, though, our companies have continued to lose vitality and the country appears to be losing its confidence. We perceive the current state of affairs as one of national crisis.
In order to bring the Japanese economy back to life and reform our stagnating nation, we must alter the structure of our nation from one based on bureaucracy and centralization to one based on privately driven and regional initiatives. Within such an environment, we need strong business leaders with new philosophies based on education and insight with a historical perspective. This said, the current scholastic education, bent on only filling students' heads with facts and corporate training that primarily attempts to pass on technical skills, would most likely not allow for the development of such individuals.
As such, we in Kansai economic circles have put our heads together to create a new type of education venue that provides HR training with a focus on the practical learning and to promote strong and lasting interpersonal networks. This venue will function to foster the development of strong leaders by corporate heads, the element with the greatest potential in economic circles, full of practical experience and knowledge. Moreover, the school will effectively utilize the IT to overcome spatial and temporal barriers. Our institution, named the Global Tekijuku Business School, takes its name from the Tekijuku School in Osaka, once run by Koan Ogata, a historic figure, a doctor, scholar and educator. The sole operator of the Global Tekijuku will be the 'Global Tekijuku Promotion Association.' We pledge to put forth all our knowledge and abilities in the hope that the individuals to be trained will develop into strong leaders on the international scene. And their intense efforts within the Global Tekijuku Business School may some day provide the force that effects reforms to return our country to its former glory.

* The Cyber Tekijuku Promotion Association was established for managing The Cyber Tekijuku on October 10, 2002. For further progress of our institution, we have changed the name to “The Global Tekijuku Promotion Association” from April 1, 2020.
