These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.
The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.As digital teaching materials have become more widespread in education, introducing the service based solely on its functions had become difficult, creating a need to communicate its fundamental value in line with the needs of education professionals. To address the growing burden of verifying the accuracy of information, Yomidas School was repositioned as an “infrastructure for primary information” with reliable sources.
