That is good to hear, and makes sense in the present financial climate, Nyororin.
The public school "industry" is on the opposite side of the spectrum, for sure. The dropping numbers of students mean the lack of need of new staff is an unfortunate reality. Many schools have been on hiring freezes for years now, and it is interesting for me to hear that the image of a "teacher" for modern Japanese youths is someone in their late 30s and above.
