When increasing the number of female teachers, it is necessary to take into account the temporary decline in the workforce due to childbirth, childcare, etc.
Temporary absences due to childcare, elder care, illness, sabbatical, etc., which can occur not only among female teachers but also among others, will be covered by other staff members. Both those providing and receiving support need to be prepared and ready.
To create a more supportive work environment for all faculty members, including female teachers, who are experiencing various life events, this faculty development program aims to foster a shared understanding among faculty and staff.
