Zenkyo had the 36 Annual Congress in Tokyo on February 9th and 10th. Zenkyo’s 65 union members made the following various reports across the country: struggles to block the revision of the Constitution, a current situation concerning children and education, what we have to do to improve excessive long working hours as well as a fresh three-year project aiming to increase union members.

Many union members said that now was the important time to proceed with Zenkyo’s effort with the cooperation of a large number of people because teachers’ excessive long working hours gain a lot of public attention.
