NO.5 A class on taxes was held at Hatsunegaoka Elementary School.

The other day, I gave a class on taxes at Hatsunegaoka Elementary School.
Two Tax Division staff members served as lecturers, and a total of 110 sixth-grade students in three classes enjoyed learning about the significance, role and usage of taxes.
In the class, we started with the question, "If taxes are gone, what will happen to our society?" And used familiar examples to help them understand the role that taxes play in society. I proceeded with the class while using it.
In the quiz, "How much will it cost per elementary school studenｔ to run an elementary school?", The elementary school students who participated said, "It was so expensive!" (Many elementary school students seemed to imagine about 30,000 yen.)
In some cases, the classroom was filled with smiles and laughter, but they had them work seriously, saying, "I understood the importance of taxes well," "The image of taxes has changed," "Taxes are important to support life." I understand that it is. "
I think it was very nice to have the elementary school students who will be responsible for the future take interest in taxes. The Hodogaya Ward Office will continue to carry out such tax-related public relations activities for a wide range of generations, and will make effective use of valuable taxes to realize "a town that has lived forever."
