中高一貫校の学校英語・NEW TREASURE・英検対策を専門とするオンライン個別指導塾です。塾長紹介
結論：英検1級の二次面接で公平性について質問されたら、Benefit（誰が利益を受けるか）・Burden（誰に負担がかかるか）・Access（誰が利用できないか）の3つを比較すると、条件付きの立場を論理的に説明できます。慶英会独自28問すべてに具体的な英語模範回答と日本語の判断根拠を付けました。実際の英検面接カードや公式見解ではありません。
公平性の議論での3つの視点
利益：施策が実際に何を改善するか。負担：税・料金・勤務時間・設備など誰が費用を負うか。利用可能性：所得・障害・地域・年齢などの違いによって利用機会が偏らないか。すべての問題で賛成が正解とは限りません。条件や根拠に応じて立場を変えられるよう練習します。
