According to a survey by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, the national average female pass rate reached 2021% in the 13.60 university medical school entrance examination, which was 0.09 points higher than that of males.It is the first time that the average passing rate of females has exceeded that of males since the 2013 entrance examination, which has data on the passing rate by gender, and the passing rate of females was high at 42 schools such as Nagoya University, Hokkaido University, and Nippon Medical School.

 According to the Ministry of Education, the survey targets 81 national, public and private universities with medical schools nationwide.The average pass rate was 13.51% for men and 13.60% for women.Forty-two universities had a higher pass rate for women than men.

 女性に不利な入試が行われていた2013年度から2018年度の平均合格率は、男性11.25%、女性9.55%で、男性が1.7ポイント上回っていた。2019年度は男性12.11%、女性11.37%、2020年度は男性12.56%、女性11.42%とその差が縮まったものの、男性の平均合格率が高い状況が続いていた。

 In 2018, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology discovered that the number of successful applicants was reduced by uniformly deducting the scores of female examinees in the general entrance examination of the Faculty of Medicine of Tokyo Medical University. The survey dates back to 81.Since then, the pass rate by gender has been announced every year.It is believed that the normalization of entrance examinations at the university where the fraud was committed is the background behind the gender reversal.
