Expert with 10k Cases: 3 Essential Subjects to Survive the AI Era | JADA

“Will my child’s future be okay if they can’t attend school right now?”
“As a parent, nothing is more painful than watching them fall behind in their studies.”

Many parents carry these heavy anxieties. However, based on over 40 years of experience supporting more than 10,000 children struggling with school refusal and social withdrawal (Hikikomori), I can tell you one definitive truth.

School test scores and the “ability to survive in society” are two completely different things.

In fact, in this era of AI where conventional wisdom is being overturned, children need “true weapons” that cannot be acquired through rote entrance exam study alone.

In our latest video, Takanori Sugiura, Representative of JADA (The Association for Prevention of School Refusal and Hikikomori), discusses the three essential subjects children need to emerge into society “sparkling” and capable of independent living.

The JADA Philosophy: Not Just “Independence,” but “Autonomy”

The core principle that JADA has cherished throughout its 40-year history is not merely “Self-standing Independence” (Jiritsu), but true “Autonomy” (Autonomy – Juritsu).

This concept of “Autonomy” is deeply rooted in the philosophy of Immanuel Kant. Kant defined autonomy not as following the orders of others or fleeting desires, but as “acting according to the moral laws (rules) one has set for oneself.”

The struggle of school refusal is, in a sense, the labor pain of breaking free from “Heteronomy” (rules decided by others) to find one’s own “Autonomy.” Only when a child holds the steering wheel of their own life through autonomy can true independence follow.

The Ultimate Weapons for the AI Era—Why These 3 Subjects?

Shifting from “memorization for exams” to “tools for living.” Takanori Sugiura redefines these three subjects as essential instruments for enjoying life and practicing autonomy.

① 【World History】 Understanding the Flow of Money and Social Structure

Many of us were educated with a narrow focus on national history. However, today’s world requires a global perspective. Understanding the structure of World History is key to decyphering “primary information” found in global economic news. When children understand the flow of money and the structure of society, they gain the power to predict the future calmly without being swayed by economic fluctuations.

② 【English & Mathematics】 The Ultimate Literacy to Master AI

English is the global lingua franca. Being able to understand headers in the Financial Times or Wall Street Journal fundamentally changes the quality of information one receives. Similarly, mathematics is the key to logical thinking in the AI era. Even if one doesn’t reach advanced statistical theory, having the “numerical stamina” to understand society allows one to use AI as a tool rather than being used by it.

③ 【Financial Education】 Polishing Oneself to Contribute to Society

Learning from a textbook isn’t enough. Children should experience investing in stocks or gold firsthand to feel the movement of society. Our goal of making children “sparkle” isn’t about simply making them rich; it’s about raising individuals who can vibrantly enjoy their lives, act autonomously, and contribute to society.
