Press Release (July 22, 2024)

The City of Kobe has heard from parents who have requested that their children attend elementary school earlier due to work or other circumstances. In order to examine how to respond to this issue, we will implement a model project of “early morning acceptance” at seven elementary schools in Kobe City.

From
Monday, September 2, 2024 to Friday, November 29, 2024 (scheduled)
(excluding Saturdays, Sundays, holidays, school holidays, etc.)

How to spend time
