According to the report of the New Overseas Chinese News Network, the nuclear radiation crisis caused by the nuclear fuel leakage accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant has made it difficult for many universities in Japan to recruit international students. Many international students said that although they had been admitted to an ideal university, they decided to apply for withdrawal before the start of school because they and their families were worried about the adverse effects of nuclear radiation. But it is worth noting that not all international students have chosen to return to China. For example, many foreign students from China did apply to drop out of school, while others applied to postpone their admission. However, more foreign students from China returned to Japan when the school started in April and enrolled as scheduled.
According to local media reports in Japan, on April 28th, Kagawa University in Japan announced that it would recruit international students this spring. Of the 30 foreign students originally scheduled to enter this spring, 7 have applied to drop out before April 1. The reason for dropping out of school is fear of being affected by nuclear radiation. Kagawa University said, "The school hopes to convey safety information to students through websites and other channels. Kagawa University is far from Fukushima and will not be affected by nuclear radiation. "
Among the 7 international students who applied to drop out of school, there were 3 German students, 2 Korean students, French students 1 and China students 1. According to Kagawa University, although the nuclear radiation crisis affected the enrollment plans of some international students, after the earthquake, none of the 138 international students applied to drop out of school, including four China international students who temporarily returned to China because of their parents' worries.
In addition, the university welcomed four freshmen from Chiba Prefecture and/kloc-0 freshmen from Ibaraki Prefecture in April this year. At the same time, students from Ibaraki Prefecture will study in the Engineering Department. Because his house was damaged in the earthquake, the school gave them special care of exempting the entrance fee of 282,000 yen.
