The Japan Association of National Universities is the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, and the Japan Association of Private Universities is the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. Requested the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to ease immigration.

 According to the Japan Association of National Universities, the request form of the Japan Association of National Universities was the name of the chairman, Kyosuke Nagata, the president of the University of Tsukuba.

 In response to the prolonged inability of privately funded international students to enter the country, each national university is responding by providing online classes, etc., but some privately funded international students are moving to study abroad in other countries where immigration restrictions have been relaxed as soon as possible. ing.
Countries around the world continue to compete for excellent international students, and Japan may be significantly delayed if nothing is done.For this reason, the Japan Association of National Universities is demanding relaxation of the suspension of new entry for privately funded international students, resumption of visa issuance, and shortening of waiting time after entry.

 According to I Dalian, the request form of I Dalian is the chairman Aiji Tanaka, the president of Waseda University.Chairman Tanaka and others handed documents to the three ministries of education, legal affairs, and foreign affairs, including Koichi Hagiuda, Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (at that time).

 Private universities that are planning to accept privately funded international students are taking all possible measures such as providing online classes and opportunities for exchange, but due to the situation that some international students can never come to Japan, points will be given to universities in other countries. There is a movement to consider.
I requested that privately funded international students be immediately eased from entering the country and that exchange students could be accepted over the medium to long term.
