Message to Potential Candidates to Ogawa Seminar：
My name is Chihiro Taketomi, a first-year master’s student at the Graduate School of International Cooperation Studies at Kobe University. Economics of education caught my attention when I was privileged to listen to one of the lectures given by Professor Ogawa during my first year of university studies. Moreover, after that, I chose Development Studies major at the University of New South Wales in order to expand my knowledge about the topic.
I believe that Ogawa Seminar is one of the most appropriate places where my dream of being a member of an international association could be realized. Even though I have spent only one week in this seminar, I am absolutely captivated by numerous opportunities and favorable studying conditions. Many senior members have already achieved great experience. Ogawa Seminar is definitely the right place for all people who want to get into international organizations or educational development associations.
