Fukuyama Heisei University

[EduCativ]

Fukuyama Heisei University was established to realize the excellent education in which humanity is highly respected. The character of each student is wholly cultivated to achieve a harmonious personality. The university expects and welcomes young people who can bravely pursue the truth and practice what justice tells us to do, have respect for the preciousness of life and the dignity of other human beings and love their native soils, societies, and nations, and have international outlooks enabling them to love the world dearly.

To entrust the hopeful creating of tomorrow to the innocent young people with an aspiration for the future and lay the foundation of a bright future, our university's main aim is to train young people to be able human beings. As a private university with its uniqueness different from other existing universities and a new university widely open to the society, our university should persevere in realizing the university establishment's spirit.

Five Teachings of Miyuki:

• We should pursue the truth and intend to practice what justice tells us to do.
• We should enrich our character and improve our individuality to be more attractive.
• We should train ourselves to have indomitable spirits and cultivate human bonds.
• We should foster the mind and feelings that respect the preciousness of life and pay reverence to Nature.
• We should always keep honesty and morality in mind and fight for the realization of our dreams.

We shall reform today's educational situation in which excessive emphasis on intellectualism and science has caused the formalization of teaching and education has become blighted. We shall realize the proper education, pursuing truth and esteeming justice, fostering human hearts and training ourselves to have firm will, to wholly cultivate every student's character and make them harmonious human beings with rice cultivation. We aim to educate students to be international Japanese with graceful character, an ardent spirit, and a sound mind.

A university that is to provide proper education, by definition, should be a place where the truth is regarded as the most precious among students themselves as well as among teachers and students, and all of them are pursuing and trying to realize it. The university should also be a community where the virtue of profound human feelings is valued positively, and realization of the merits mentioned above is done harmoniously. Such an educational community can be materialized only by confidence among teachers and students, and we cannot stop realizing that love must be its foundation. Our university should struggle to realize it fully.

What makes it more fruitful to pursue the truth and grope for justice is to aggressively try by themselves practicing what one has found out through their contemplation, especially something new.

Our university refuses to give education whose emphasis is only on pursuing basic theory or, contrarily, focused only on gaining professional skills and qualifications. As our goal is to educate students to be human beings, capable of helping our society improve, who have both highly scientific theory and flexible skillfulness which can meet the needs of the industrial and technological society ever-developing itself, we should give education of forming the character of students with the strong will of combining theory and practice, knowledge and action, and ability to carry out things, especially creating something new.
