Message to Potential Candidates to Ogawa Seminar：

Being interested for a long time in Economics of education, I have been looking for a way to deepen my understanding of this topic and its practical applications in the real world.

That is precisely what I got by joining the “Ogawa zemi”, a seminar conducted by Professor Keiichi OGAWA. He kindly shares his knowledge and experiences and not only about his academic field, but also how to build a good career.

Moreover, the participants of this seminar come from various backgrounds and are very eager to help and support you.

If you’re interested in economics or in education and if you want to expand your knowledge beyond the classroom, I highly recommend joining this seminar. The experience has been incredibly enriching for me, and I believe you’ll find it equally rewarding.
