Why did Aichi Prefecture ｃreate the “Lear-cation” Day?

Q1
Ａ１

Q２

It is a project of “Resting-style Reform” aiming to balance the lifestyleand work. And the “Lear-cation Day” is a part of this project. In Aichi
Prefecture, approximately 45% of people work on Saturdays and 35% on
Sundays. Therefore, these people are unable to spend their holidays with
their children. The “Lear-cation Day” was created so that children inthese families can spend a day with their parents on weekday.

Is it possible to take the “Lear-cation Day” consecutively?
And is it possible to transfer the remaining days to the next schoolyear?
A2 It is possible to take the “Lear-cation Day” consecutively, but you
cannot transfer the remaining days to the next school year.

Q３Can I go on a Trip (Travel) somewhere on “Lear-cation Day”?
A3”Lear-cation Day” is meant for “Learning” + “Vacation”. Therefore, itis necessary to have a study goal. Then, you can travel as long as you
have a learning activity on “Lear-cation Day”. The learning activity will
replace the school day. Then you should decide the learning content andwork-out the schedule as family. But, to have a “Lear-cation Day”, you
don’t need to go somewhere.

What kind of activities qualify as “Lear-cation”?

Q４
A4”Lear-cation” is : ① activities that are conducted together withparents and ②experience and exploration activities. Therefore, activities
that satisfy ①and② are called “Lear-cation”. There are times when you
need to discuss with your child, using examples of “Lear-cation Day”
activities and “Keywords for Learning” to clarify whether they should
spend their resources. There are many seeds of learning even in familiar
places.

Q５Are there any changes compared to last year?
A５

The deadline for filling the notifications regarding whether or not you
will be responsible for the fee has been changed. This is done inadvance . This is because, we have to prepare and order materials. If you
submit your notification after the deadline for sending the “Lear-cation”
plan (including Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays) you will be required topay for your child’s support expenses.
Please note that notifications for “Lear-cation Day” can besubmitted up to the day before.
