No obvious campaigns. This school year was the second to implement it AFAIK. perhaps not all schools. The one I am familiar with is the top public school based on academics.

Schools no longer use くん (kun) or ちゃん (chan) after students names, instead opting for さん (san) which is gender neutral. This is from elementary school.

Oh, cool. That's great.

Thanks for the insight
