Takasaki City has decided to open all public elementary schools to 7:00 AM starting next school year, but on the 5th, a union made up of teachers and staff from the prefecture once again called for the move to be rescinded. The city plans to compensate public employees by paying overtime pay, but teachers on the ground have raised concerns, such as "Who will respond if a child is injured?" The union submitted a request to the mayor and board of education asking for the move to be rescinded, citing it as "going against work style reform for teachers," but its request was not accepted, and the union is once again calling for the move to be rescinded.
