    東京都 小金井市 東 京 学 芸 大 学 Message from the President The mission statement of Tokyo Gakugei University captures the core aim of the university as follows: “to develop talented educators who possess rich creativity and practical classroom skills backed by both advanced specialized knowledge and well-rounded general knowledge.” Today society is becoming increasingly complex and diverse. Society is graying with the decrease in the birthrate. Humankind faces challenges in relation to the environment, resources, and energy. Society must also address the issues of poverty, regional conflict, and school bullying. To respond to the needs and demands of Japanese society as one of the nation’s core universities specialized in teacher training, Tokyo Gakugei University seeks to contribute to the resolution of education issues surrounding society as well as pupils and students. Toshisada Deguchi History Tokyo Gakugei University (TGU) was established in May 1949, integrating four normal schools operating in Tokyo at that time. The predecessors to these normal schools were the Tokyo School of Training Elementary School Teachers, established in 1873, the Tokyo Women’s Normal School, established in 1900, and others. Since its founding, TGU has sent many graduates out into the field of education nationwide, and has a long history of achievement in training educators.
