The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has requested the university to transfer to another schedule without conducting additional examinations or collecting examination fees for students affected by the new coronavirus infection in the 2022 university entrance examination. Based on this, we notified the presidents of national university corporations and the presidents of school corporations nationwide about the policy of making capacity management more flexible.

 According to the Ministry of Education, special treatment is a measure following the 2021 entrance examination.National universities will have their operating subsidies reduced if their enrollment capacity is significantly exceeded or insufficient.At private universities, subsidies for ordinary expenses are not granted or reduced.

 However, in order to give the examinees a fair opportunity to take the entrance examination in 2022, it is expected that the capacity management on the university side will be considerably difficult because it is required to carry out additional examinations and transfer of different schedules.Therefore, students who have passed the supplementary examination will be treated as an exception not to be included in the enrollment capacity, and the grants and subsidies will not be reduced even if the number of successful applicants increases in the supplementary examination.

 In addition, the Ministry of Education has set a policy to set up venues in all prefectures for the supplementary examination of the 2022 university entrance test, including national, public and private university presidents, prefectural governors, prefectural boards of education directors, and ordinance-designated city boards of education. Notified the superintendent of education.Based on the infection status of the new corona, it will be implemented as a special case.
