これからの高校生は世界を目指す？　東京都立高校生の海外留学を支援するために、都教育委員会が今年度から開始する「次世代リーダー育成道場」に、定員の４倍以上の申し込みが寄せられている。応募したのは、定員１５０人に対し、５月２５日の締め切りまでに６４２人。近年は高校生の留学希望者が減っていただけに、都教委は「こんなに応募があるとは思わなかった」と驚いている。

都教委によると、留学には渡航費も含めて１年間で３００万～４００万円の費用が必要とされる。しかし、今回の事業を利用すれば、自己負担は２５万～８５万円で済み、家計状況によってはさらに減免する措置もある。また、各生徒の希望を聞きながら、都教委が留学先の仲介も行うという。

６月中に応募者に対する面接が行われ、１５０人の留学生が決定する。選ばれた高校生たちは７月からの６～８か月間、国内で英語による論文作成、発表方法などを学習。研修が終わる来年１月以降、短期の場合は１か月間、長期なら１年間、英語圏の米国やオーストラリアなど４か国の都市でホームステイをしながら現地の高校に通う。

都教委の調査では、３か月間以上の留学をした都立高校生は、１９９０年度には５７７人だったが、２０１０年度は８７人まで減少。都教委は、海外留学を通じて英語力だけでなく、タフさやチャレンジ精神を身につけてもらおうと、今年度からの９年間で都立高校生３０００人を海外へ送り出す計画だ。

このほか都も、家具や服飾、料理などの若手職人や大学生らの留学支援を行っていく。

都教委は４月に２度、この事業の説明会を行ったが、会場から聴衆があふれるほどの大盛況だったという。担当者は「費用負担の少なさや自治体が仲介する安心さが好評だったのだろう。未来のリーダーとなる人材が一人でも育ってほしい」と話している。

どんどん制度を活用して若い時に世界に出るべきでしょうね。多くの地方自治体でも同じような制度を作って多くの若者が世界に出るチャンスを多く作ってあげて欲しいですね。
