According to a questionnaire survey conducted by Recruit Group's educational think tank Recruit Advancement Research Institute, more than 9% of high school teachers consider it difficult to provide career guidance as a job problem.Many commented that the reasons were "diversification of entrance exams" and lack of "career guidance time".
The survey was conducted in October 2016 by mailing a questionnaire to 10 full-time high school career guidance managers nationwide, of which 4,807 responded and tabulated.According to the report, 1,105% of teachers find it difficult to give career guidance, an increase of 91.9 points from 90.0% in the previous survey.Of these, 1.9% of the faculty members answered that it was "very difficult", falling below 30.4% in the previous survey (2012) and 34.6% in the previous survey (2014) twice in a row.
The most difficult reason was "diversification of entrance exams".It accounted for 25.7% of the total, 8.2 points higher than the previous time and 6.0 points higher than the previous time.
The 2nd place was "insufficient time for teachers to give career guidance" at 25.6%, the 3rd place was "insufficient ability to select and decide career paths" at 24.1%, and the 4th place was "decreased motivation to learn" at 21.0%.
The most important point for students to go on to school was "there is a faculty / department / course that you want to study" at 79.0%.This was followed by 55.8% who said "Students are good at taking care of" and 53.5% who said "I can expand the interests and possibilities of students".
Many people are expecting universities and the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology to "control the types of entrance exams" (39.3%) and "easy-to-understand names of faculties and departments" (36.6%).
