Katariba Utilizes the Metaverse to Promote Educational Success
Although the contemporary Metaverse mostly encourages social connection, the medium can have a significant impact on society. Consider the Japanese non-profit Katariba, which developed a Metaverse-based educational platform to increase accessibility to education.

How Katariba Functions
Some children are homeschooled by their parents or are unable to attend school due to emotional difficulties, even though many children’s educational needs are addressed within school walls. This is where Katariba’s new Room-K resource comes into play.

Through Room-K, kids have access to a virtual learning ecosystem that currently has 110 elementary and junior high school students enrolled. Students can select the topics and periods they want to study when they join up for the platform. Then, in contrast to a “typical” school, kids receive 45-minute lessons that allow them to learn at their own pace and provide a less rigid curriculum.

10% of these youngsters later returned to formal school as a result of the program, and the charity hopes to accomplish even more in the future. “We want to build an environment where kids can learn. Tomotaka Segawa, the director of Room-K, said, “We aim to expand the choices for communities looking to support non-attending children.

This objective may very well be accomplished given the impending policies of Japan’s new Government Agency for Child and Family Affairs.
