Log: Hey Chako, did you see the recent news? A school corporation was hiding 600 million yen! That’s incredible, right?
Chako: What?! They were hiding that much? Does that mean they need money for lunch?

Admin’s Note

This news prompts us to reconsider the importance of ethics in educational institutions. It is particularly disappointing that such issues arise at a time when transparency and integrity are expected from school organizations. As mentioned by Chako, how funds are utilized in educational institutions directly impacts the future of children, so those in charge must exercise even greater care. Moving forward, there is a need for systems to be established to prevent such situations from occurring again.
