The ACAP "My Proposal" on Consumer Issues is an essay award sponsored by the Association of Consumer Affairs Professionals (ACAP). It aims to provide consumers with an opportunity to reflect on the nature of consumer society and to encourage their active participation as members of a consumer-citizen society.
For this 40th contest, there were 72 submissions across six themes, and Yuto Kunitake's essay, "The Potential of High School 'Information I' and Consumer Education," was selected as one of the winning entries.
A Comment from Yuto Kunitake
I am greatly honored to have been selected as a winner in this essay contest. My essay, "The Potential of High School 'Information I' and Consumer Education," was recognized for its novelty in suggesting that it is possible to provide more in-depth consumer education than ever before to high school students who have studied advanced information technology in the "Information I" course. While the current curriculum is designed for learners with diverse backgrounds, my paper proposes the possibility of implementing more advanced consumer education for high school students equipped with an understanding of information technology.
As I prepare to advance to a master's program, receiving this award is a great encouragement. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone involved. Thank you very much.
