Japan launches the first private online school, Virtual Cram School Wish High, where the staff is virtual, and all teachers are VTubers, that is, streamers who use digital avatars.


This initiative comes in the context of the popularity of private 'cram' schools, which offer additional preparation for exams but are criticized for high costs. The tuition fee at Wish High is approximately 63 dollars per course per month, making it more accessible compared to other elite schools.


There is no age limit for the courses, allowing both minors and adults to enroll. Although the model attracts students through emotional attachment to VTubers, there are questions about their effectiveness as teachers.


The 'cram' industry is known for monetizing academic preparation, which can create financial difficulties for low-income families.
