Super Global High School Programme

Programme Goal:

    Educating and nurturing global leaders who will positively influence the world wherever they are through innovation and compassion.

Programme Explanation:

We believe successful leaders in today’s global environment must be both strong and compassionate. Globalization has led to intense competition,requiring strength of mind, body, and ethics from our children. This has also led to a general increase in income disparity. In order to combat said disparity,our global leaders will be expected to work efficiently and compassionately.

There is a proverb that says if you try to chase 2 hares at the same time, you will catch neither due to your divided attention; however, we believe with the right strategy you can. Our students find inspiration in our school’s slogan:“Run after at least three hares”. If you want to realize your goal, you must aim even further than your intended mark. Thus, aiming for three hares will, one day, result in catching two. Urawa High School students study hard and support one another, growing beyond their preconceived limits. Together they believe they can reach even further. Our goal is for them to become the world’s first-choice candidates in whatever field they pursue.

Innovation will be the lifeline for the future of Japan and the world. When Steve Jobs said, "Think different", he was not telling us to seek different answers or settle for less when things become difficult, but to pursue worthwhile answers by finding new routes to them.

In today’s world, where big changes are happening every day, people can only survive by creating new, inventive products and business models with no preexisting frameworks. However, as before, future leaders should be nurtured to unite humankind and reduce those differences which encourage unfair treatment through creating new concepts which transcend traditional concepts of freedom and equality.

Defining a Super Global High School:

    What does becoming a Super Global High School mean? What does it look like? We are defining a “Super Global High School” as a school which not only offers students the basic opportunities all schools do, but also additional chances to test, mature, and refine their leadership skills in both local and global contexts through various opportunities. To achieve this, Urawa High School has two areas of concentration for its SGH Programme:

1.     International Exchange

Urawa High School has a rich track record of international exchange.For example, we have a sister school relationship with Whitgift School in the UK and send over 20 students every school year on short term exchange trips.

There are many other opportunities for Urawa High School students to study abroad, such as the Michigan Math and Science Scholars summer enrichment programmes, the MIT programme, and Harvard programme. Through our SGH programme,we aim to send more and more students to foreign countries and broaden our educational activities for the development of global leaders.

Research activities during the 2014 fiscal year

The following were our three primary targets:

1.       The underlying strength of manufacturing in Japan, particularly relating to Hitachi and their exports

2.       The history of the British Empire’s railway exports

3.       The development of the British railways post electricity

2.     Research in Advisory Groups

Urawa High School has a tradition of outstanding attainment thanks to our Period for Integrated Studies, or Advisory Groups. These groups give our students the freedom to explore anything they desire and then hand in a paper with their formulated answer.

Our SGH programme uses this research time specifically to cultivate globalleaders. This is accomplished through asking students to focus their papers on one of 3 primary categories: how it relates to the enrichment of society, how it produces a sustainable global environment, or how it reflects the universal values ​​of humanity.

研究開発構想名

新しい価値を創造し，世界のどこかを支えるグローバル・リーダーの育成

研究開発構想へのコメント

グローバル人材の根幹はタフで優しい人間である．グローバル化は苛烈な競争に巻き込まれる世界であり，そこで生き抜く人間は知徳体のすべてにおいてタフでなければならない．一方，グローバル化社会の行き着く先は格差社会であってはならず，人と人の間に入り込み，人と人を繋ぐことができる共感力をもった優しい人間であることが求められる．

「少なくとも三兎を追え」「無理難題に挑戦しろ」と鼓舞されつつ，仲間と励ましあいながら学び，限界を超えて成長する浦和高校の生徒こそ，タフで優しいグローバル・リーダーの第一候補である．

これからの日本および世界の将来を決定付ける生命線が，新しい価値の創造である．スティーブ・ジョブズが「Think different」という言葉に託したのは，並列された選択肢を取り替えることでなく，より高次の，未知の価値に目を向けろということであっただろう．

高速度で変化し続ける世界では，常に新しい価値を持つ商品やビジネスモデルを創造し続けるものだけが生き残る．しかしここでもグローバル化社会の終着駅を格差の拡大としないために，従来の自由と平等という理念を超えた，新しい社会の統合原理をもたらす価値概念の創出が求められる．

浦和高校のSGH：2つの流れ

１  国際交流

浦和高校は英国のWhitgift Schoolと20年にわたって姉妹校交流を続けていることを筆頭に国際交流の豊かな実績があります．SGHのプログラムを通じて，より多くの生徒を海外に派遣する，課題研究と連動させることで海外での学習をより充実させる，など本校のグローバル・リーダーの育成をさらに発展させます．

26年度　第1回SGH派遣　17名

研究テーマ：英国と日本の鉄道の比較と未来の公共交通機関への提案

①    日立の高速鉄道輸出に見る日本のものづくりの底力

②    イギリスの鉄道輸出について

③    イギリスの鉄道の電化による電車交通網の発展

２  アドグル

浦和高校では総合的な学習の時間に先駆けて，アドバイザーグループと呼ばれるセミナーにおける探求学習を行い，論文の執筆に取り組んできました．SGHのプログラムを通じて，人類の共存・持続可能な地球環境・普遍的な価値の探求を3本の軸に，国際的に活躍できるグローバル・リーダーをこれまで以上に輩出するための課題研究に取り組みます．
