2025年3月10日(月)～3月17日(月)までの8日間、シンガポールポリテクニックプログラムに茨城高専、徳山高専とともに本校から4年生2名が参加しました。一般教養クリスプロワント講師が引率し、シンガポールポリテクニックのキャンパス環境や授業の見学を行ったほか、学生と交流し学術プログラムについて学び、英語による日本についてのプレゼンテーションを実施しました。
　このプログラムは、公共交通機関や近代建築と歴史建築、都市計画などの観察を通じて、シンガポールの文化、社会、教育についての理解を深めることを目的とした研修です。さらに、今年度９月～１月まで本校に特別聴講学生として在籍していたリパブリックポリテクニックのANIL RAJさん、JODIE CHEOW JIAXUANさんとも再会を果たし、案内を受けるなどしてさらに異文化への理解を高めることができました。
　本研修旅行の一部は、「高専生の海外活動支援事業」より支援いただきました。
　今回の研修参加と教員の訪問で、今後ますます機構本部の包括協定校であるポリテクニックと本校の交流が加速することが期待されます。

Participation in Singapore Polytechnic Program

From March 10 (Mon.) to March 17 (Mon.), two 4th year students from Ibaraki
National College of Technology and Tokuyama National College of Technology
participated in the Singapore Polytechnic Program for 8 days.
Led by Mr. Chris Prowant, an instructor of general education, the students
toured the campus environment and classes at Singapore Polytechnic, interacted
with students to learn about the academic program, and gave a presentation about
Japan in English.
The program was designed to deepen participants’ understanding of Singapore’s
culture, society, and education through observation of public transportation,
modern and historical architecture, and urban planning.
They also interacted with Indian, Muslim, Chinese and Malay culture by
visiting various areas of Singapore. They also took part in a traditional
Indian dance class.
In addition, the participants were able to reunite with ANIL RAJ and JODIE
CHEOW JIAXUAN of Republic Polytechnic, who were enrolled as special auditing
students from September to January this year and received guidance to further
enhance their understanding of different cultures.
Part of this study tour was supported by the “Support Program for Overseas
Activities of College of Technology Students.”
We expect that the participation in this training program and the visit by
the faculty members will further accelerate the exchange between our school
and polytechnics, which are under a comprehensive agreement with OIST
Headquarters.
Our visit was received with enthusiasm by the staff and faculty associated with
the Student Development Department and the International Student Association.
NIT Anan College is encouraged to return to Singapore Polytechnic again next
year and they have expressed interests in sending exchange students to our school.
