問題１ 次の英文の要約を 200 字以内の日本語で書きなさい。

An education ministry expert panel has finalized a report on using digitaltextbooks in Japan's classrooms. The report pegs academic 2024 as the year
to begin introducing the textbooks in earnest, and suggests using them
primarily alongside paper textbooks.
Digital textbooks, viewed on computers and tablets, have the same content
as their printed equivalents. Hopes are high that they will help deepen
students' understanding of the material covered, as they can be paired withvideos. The children will also be able to write comments in the text to bedisplayed on the digital blackboard and shared with the rest of the class.
Furthermore, the text can be enlarged, or read out by the device, so digitaltextbooks should also prove useful for children with disabilities or immigrantstudents.
However, we cannot say that there has been sufficient study on the
educational outcomes of using digital texts.
Some critics have pointed to a risk of students thinking they understandbut not actually taking in the material just by looking at it on-screen. Manyexperts also insist that reading comprehension is bettered by students having
to read carefully off a paper page.
What is important is that children build up the capacity for independent
thought. We would like to see a thorough search for methods on how to use
paper and digital texts together, leveraging the best aspects of both to achieve
the best results.
There are many issues that need to be resolved on the road to full
introduction of digital texts. The national government pays the full cost of
textbooks for compulsory education, but this system only applies to the paper
versions. It would be natural for the state to pay for digital texts, too, but
debate on systematic reform with simultaneous use of paper and digital
editions in mind is needed.
Meanwhile, for students to use their digital textbooks at home, every－1－household must have the appropriate digital communications infrastructure
in place. How to help destitute households cover the cost of installing this andpaying for the service is a major task to consider going forward.
Teaching staff must also have the technical skills to use digital texts to thebest effect. To prevent educational inequality from emerging among schools
and regions, there ought to be thorough digital text training for teachers.
This school year, the education ministry is conducting digital textbook pilot
programs in about 40% of Japan's primary and junior high schools. In
addition to learning outcomes, the ministry is investigating the texts' impact
on the children's health, such as on their eyesight.
Rather than starting out with a particular launch date for the digitaltextbooks, the education ministry must carefully work through all thepotential problems associated with them, and make sure they are used toactually improve learning.
