1. Introduction
I hope to be a high school teacher.
A review of the school district systemcurrently discussed in Tokushima Prefecture.
I started this research, because I wanted to
add the perspective of teachers to thisproblem.

Four purposes of school
district system
Equal opportunity for high school students

PrefectureEliminate the adverse effects of admission
competition
Spread of high school

Cities that can go to the third school
district increase the number of households

3.4 Regular course have similar
curriculumNormal high schools tend to have uniform
educational content→General education should also diversify
educational content
Achieving this requires abolitionof the school district system

According to a report fromShimane Prefecture
In the Hiroshima, Yamaguchi,
Tottori prefectures abolished theschool district system, high school
revitalization and specialization
were ouccered.

4. Conclusion
My argument was that theschool district systemshould be abolished.

There are three points of mypresentation
Abolition of school district system will
create competition and improve academic
ability in Tokushima Prefecture
Cities that can go to the third school district
increase the number of households
General education should also diversify
educational content
