Our Mission

Who We Are

TEPRO, established by the Tokyo Metropolitan Board of Education, is the first organization in Japan to provide multifaceted support to public schools in Tokyo.

We promote work style reform for teachers through various business activities to support schools, such as the TEPRO Supporter Bank project.

What is Work Style Reform for Teachers?

As the environment surrounding schools becomes more complex and diverse and the required roles of schools expand, further enhancement of school education is required.

Under these circumstances, teachers in the field of school education are making dedicated efforts to interact effectively with children on a daily basis. Meanwhile, it has become clear that teachers work long hours, and this considerably affects the mental and physical well-being of the teachers who support children’s learning. This has indeed become a serious problem that has a direct effect on the quality of daily educational activities.

For this reason, the national government and boards of education are promoting the reform of teachers’ work styles within our schools, with the ultimate goal of enabling teachers to refine their teaching skills, enhance their humanity and creativity, and to carry out effective educational activities for the children in their charge, through a review of their work styles.

The Mission of TEPRO

1. To secure diverse external human resources and refer appropriate human resources to schools.
2. To support teachers by providing professional consultation and negotiation services on matters outside their area of expertise, and by acting as an agent for high-level negotiations, etc.
3. To promote the support for teachers and their administrative works by consolidating and streamlining schools’ clerical tasks.

By taking on these roles, we provide multifaceted support to the public schools in Tokyo and seek to promote work style reform for teachers.
