In the "University Entrance Examination Achievement Evaluation Test (tentative name)", there is a great deal of concern about the introduction of descriptive tests in Japanese, etc. Regarding the need to design a system that can be used for university entrance exams, and the use of qualifications and certification exams in English, we requested that sufficient consideration be given to the diversity of examinees, such as the area of residence, the economic situation of the family, and the learning environment.
