Japanese university education may face reform.
Recently, there have been actions to explore consumer demand in Japan: beauty, finance, education, housing ... Among them, the education field that the Japanese government values most should also be reformed. Let's talk about Japanese university education or it will face reform. Let's have a look.

Before this change came, Japanese educational circles began to seek "business transformation".

The "Life 100 Idea Meeting" * held by the Japanese central government this month (February) officially started the formal discussion on university reform. The purpose of discussing and clarifying the functions of private universities is to improve the situation that 40% private universities are under-enrolled due to the process of declining birthrate. If we can successfully establish the characteristics of the university, it will be easier to publicize it to students.

* 20 17 September, the Japanese government launched the "Life 100 Conception Meeting" chaired by the Prime Minister.

In its signature policy "talent training revolution", the central government began to review the "clear function" of private universities in response to "university reform";

"In particular, local private colleges and universities should be endowed with the characteristics of talents needed to cultivate regional backbone industries, strengthen external publicity and facilitate enrollment. And promote the integration or cooperation of universities in different professional fields in the region to achieve the purpose of university restructuring.

For details, please refer to the practice of clarifying the functions of national universities first and then descending:

▼ The central government classifies national universities as

1. Research-oriented Excellence Education;

2. Be good at professional education;

3. Geographical contribution category.

Consider the classification of universities, review their reforms or educational research, and consider the amount of subsidies.

+According to the 20 18 aid budget for private universities published by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports and Sports of Japan. Compared with 20 17, the new budget is 654.38+03 billion yen, with a total of 328.3 billion yen.

As an important supplement to public universities in China, private universities play an important role in adapting to market changes and meeting the diverse needs of society for talents according to their different school-running concepts.

However, in recent years, the trend of private universities shifting to "brand research" is very obvious, and "brand research of private universities" has attracted people's attention:

1. The funding for "private colleges and universities research brand undertaking" began on 20 16. According to the data of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, the expected value of this budget in 20 18 is 9.6 billion yen, which is an increase from 7.9 billion yen last year.

2. The "research" in the "brand research of private colleges and universities" is different from the general academic research and is not a simple scientific research project. It focuses more on "production and learning".

Among them, Jintai University in Kansai has become a highlight of "brand research":

"By 20 17, the number of applicants from Japanese universities has been occupied by Feng Jingen University for four consecutive years. The number of applicants exceeded 1.4 million, which is the highest level in 25 years since Waseda University 1.992 exceeded 1.5 million.

Feng Jingen University has successively set up new departments such as comprehensive social specialty, architecture specialty and international specialty. At the same time, the excellent research ability of tuna and eel-flavored catfish has become one of the attractive places. Now, the main Toosaka campus is under construction, and the new library is expected to be completed in 2020. The ability of reform and propaganda is outstanding, which is widely praised and welcomed by candidates.

Japan's investment in "brand research of private universities" has undoubtedly boosted the confidence of international students who have studied in private universities or intend to study in private universities.

+Japanese universities are divided into two categories: the number of private universities far exceeds that of public universities.

Compared with public universities (whether state-owned or public), private universities in Japan are all established by private enterprises or schools as legal persons.

The biggest difference between private universities and public universities is that students can enroll without passing the national unified examination, but tuition fees are generally more expensive because schools receive less subsidies.

Although the image of "not passing the national unified examination" to admit private universities seems to be very poor, in fact, some private universities are particularly prominent in specific fields and often attract students.

"One of the famous schools in Japan, such as Waseda University and Keio University, is a private university. According to the data of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology in 20 16, the number of students in private universities accounts for about 74% of all college students, which is much higher than that in public universities.

1. National University

Refers to a university run or established by the national government. National universities in Japan now exist in the form of national university legal persons.

? Specialty setting tendency: the specialty setting of universities for nationalities tends to be research-oriented and aims at scientific research results.

2. Public universities

Refers to universities funded by local finance or government. With the reform of Japanese education system, public universities also exist in the form of legal persons.

? Tendency of major setting: Compared with the overall research level of national universities, public universities are slightly inferior, but their major setting is also more academic.

3. Private universities

It refers to a university founded and operated by private capital. Japanese private universities are entrepreneurial, independent and self-financing.

? Specialty setting tendency: As private colleges are responsible for their own profits and losses, generally speaking, the specialty setting of private colleges tends to the employment rate.

+In Japan, the exam season is coming.

As the largest national college entrance examination in Japan, the "National College Entrance Examination" was held on June 5438+ 10/3 and June 5438+04. There are 58,2671people taking the exam this year.

What are the more popular universities among Japanese candidates?

Let's take a look at the former 10 university with the largest number of applicants in 20 17. (20 18 The number of applicants has not yet been released. The following is the ranking of 20 17).

The main feature of the 20 17 general entrance examination is the surge in the number of applicants from private universities. It actually increased by about 8% over the previous year.
