Message to Potential Candidates to Ogawa Seminar:

I am from Bangladesh and feel proud to be a student of Professor Ogawa’s seminar. I attended at GSICS on 3rd October, 2019 as a JDS fellow and took part in the seminar on the 7th October. On this auspicious day a new window has opened in my life after knowing the multi-dimensional working experience of Professor Ogawa with various International Organizations. Through positive and active discussion with variations in presentation, we are strongly eager to improve our knowledge and abilities related to education policy analysis, education development, education risk management targeting sustainable development goals. Therefore, it is the best platform to get proper guide for further research, changing mind set, achieving soft skills and building a strong network for successful career. Nevertheless, Ogawa Jemi is producing potential candidates every year. The seminar becomes more effective by sharing ideas with the international students of various countries with better understanding. Moreover, this seminar is a unique platform for the students to build confidence for a strong capacity building by implementing knowledge and experiences to accomplish your personal goal. All the students are always benefited by getting necessary supports and guidance to attend research presentation, Internship programs, International seminar and symposium. As a teacher educator of Bangladesh, I must be able to enhance my knowledge about education policy and planning of a developing country. I strongly believe that it is a key starting point for me to go ahead crossing my national boarder.

Lastly, I am delighted to invite you to be a student of Ogawa seminar to build your capacity at a finer scale. Variety of circumstances will broaden your outlook now and in future.
