Uchida Yoko has built a next-gen school admin DX platform for the Fuchu City Board of Education, it supports around 21,000 users, including roughly 2,000 teachers and staff, and then about 19,000 students spread across 33 elementary and junior high schools. The teacher side, sort of went live in January 2026, while the rest of it, meaning the full rollout and student access, actually started in April.
The new platform is built around a zero-trust architecture using SASE technology, allowing teachers and staff to securely access both administrative and learning systems from a single device, whether they are in the classroom, staff room, or working elsewhere on campus. This kind of replaces the previous setup where separate networks and devices were required for different tasks, you know like it wasn’t really flexible.
To strengthen security, the platform combines multi factor authentication, biometric verification, device authentication and continuous monitoring, all in one place. Students access services through certificate based authentication while integrated identity management enables single sign on across Microsoft 365 Education A5 and Google Workspace for Education.

This initiative also brings Microsoft 365 Copilot, to municipal schools, and it kind of helps teachers streamline work like making documents, putting together meeting summaries, and handling communication with parents. Uchida Yoko is further developing AI agents through Microsoft Copilot Studio to provide instant access to school policies, procedures, and operational information.
The project aligns with Japan’s push toward next-generation educational DX and represents one of the country’s larger deployments of zero-trust security, integrated authentication, and generative AI within a public school environment.
