Where it is from

AEL Course is the program derived from the five-year Asia Joint-Degree Project (2011-2015) funded by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) of Japan. For more information about the ended project, please click here.

What we have gone through

AEL Course started in 2014. Proposed by Tohoku University’s Graduate School of Education and jointly run by six partner institutes of five universities in East Asia, it successfully opened four summer/winter courses between April 2014 and March 2016. It has brought together both students and academics in the field of education in the region. An East Asian network for learning, teaching and researching education has formed and keeps expanding.
