Dear FLT Members,

On 2018 June 7th, the  LFI Tokyo School council was held.
Your FLT-fapée representatives participated: Elisabeth Beaufort, Murielle Ino and Joel Gay.

The School Council was held in a peculiar atmosphere as, following the collective resignation of teachers and personnel representatives in May, only representatives of the administration, students and parents were presents.

1/ Rentrée 2018

• Expecting a total of 53 classes from PS to Terminale

• Pending request to AEFE to open a Cinema option at Baccalaureat for September 2019. Expecting a decision in October 2018.

• Creation of a new function in High School: Science and Technology coordinator, as deemed necessary by the administration.

• From next September the Terminales will have two head professors instead of one, as per the directive from the Ministry of Education.

• The 2018-2019 School calendar was adopted.

2/ School Year 2017 – 2018 highlights

• Many school trips within Japan. None outside Japan since budget are above the maximum allowed.

• Extension to the neighboring school (number 6) abandoned.

• AEFE wishes to close 2 resident jobs. The parents representatives voted against this measure.

• The School mid-term Plan is not yet complete. An extraordinary School Council will be held before end of June to hold a vote on this plan.

Sincerely yours,

FLT-Fapée Team
