The Japan Private School Promotion and Mutual Aid Corporation has conducted a basic survey of school corporations targeting private universities, junior colleges, and graduate schools (excluding schools established by Co., Ltd.) nationwide. We have published the "Trends for Admission to Private Universities and Junior Colleges in 2021", which summarizes trends such as enrollment capacity sufficiency rate and application rate by scale, region, and faculty system.

 Of the 605 schools surveyed, 597 schools (up 4 from the previous year), excluding schools that have only correspondence education departments and schools that have stopped recruiting, were counted as the total number of private universities.

 調査によると、志願者数383万4862人(前年度より53万3353人減)、受験者数366万3962人(51万841人減)、入学者数49万4213人(9617人減)は前年度から減少。一方、入学定員49万5162人(4150人増)、合格者数143万7906人(8万9389人増)は増加した。

 The enrollment capacity sufficiency rate (number of enrollees ÷ enrollment capacity) decreased by 2.80 points from the previous year to 99.81%, and the number of universities with an enrollment capacity sufficiency rate of less than 100% increased by 93 to 277, not accounting for the entire university. The percentage of satisfied schools increased significantly to 15.4 points to 46.4%.

 Looking at the enrollment capacity sufficiency rate by size, the category in which the enrollment capacity sufficiency rate increased was only "3000 or more", which increased by 0.84 points to 99.91%. In the four categories of "600 or more and less than 3000", the enrollment capacity sufficiency rate decreased from the previous year but exceeded 4%.

 By region, the only category where the enrollment capacity sufficiency rate increased was "Kyoto", which increased by 0.46 points.Areas where the enrollment capacity sufficiency rate exceeds 100% are "Hokkaido," "Miyagi," "Kanto (excluding Saitama, Chiba, Tokyo, and Kanagawa)," "Tokyo," "Aichi," "Osaka," and "Fukuoka." It was only.

 By faculty system, the enrollment capacity sufficiency rate exceeded 100% in "medicine", "science / engineering", "social science", "physical education", and "arts".On the other hand, the enrollment capacity sufficiency rate was less than 100% in "dentistry," "pharmacy," "health," "agriculture," "humanities," "home economics," and "pedagogy."In addition, there is no undergraduate system where the enrollment capacity sufficiency rate has increased from the previous year, and the one with the largest decrease in the enrollment capacity sufficiency rate was "dentistry", which decreased by 7.15 points to 75.83%.

 In 2021, the 18-year-old population will decrease by about 2020 compared to 2, and the 6-year-old population is in a declining period.The Japan Private School Promotion and Mutual Aid Corporation needs further ingenuity and efforts in its efforts to recruit students regarding the results of this survey.
