According to the summary of the Japan Student Services Organization, the number of students with disabilities studying at universities, junior colleges, and colleges of technology is increasing rapidly throughout the country.The number of schools that support by establishing regulations and specialized committees is increasing year by year, and it seems that the support system is gradually advancing.
The survey investigated the number of students with disabilities enrolled in universities, junior colleges, and colleges of technology and the status of school enrollment support as of May 2005, 5, and analyzed the contents.
それによると、2006年度の障害のある学生数は4,937人で、全学生に占める割合が0.16％にとどまっていたが、翌2007年度に5,000人、2011年度に1万人を突破、2015年度は2万1,721人、2016年度は2万7,257人とこのところ急増している。
The percentage of all students also exceeded 2008% in 0.2 and 2013% in 0.4, reaching 2015% in 0.68 and 2016% in 0.86.
As a background of the recent increase, in preparation for the enforcement of the Disability Discrimination Elimination Law in 2016, universities and others have started to improve the acceptance system, and the scope of students with disabilities has been included in the "Other" category. Since mental illness and mental illness have been made independent as the "mental illness" category, it has become easier for students to understand at universities.
By disability, the proportion of developmental disabilities and mental illnesses is increasing compared to the categories of physical disabilities such as visual, hearing, and physical disabilities.The Japan Student Services Organization expects this trend to continue.
Regarding support for persons with disabilities, 2016 schools that established support regulations in FY426 accounted for 36.4% of the total.There are 358 schools with specialized committees for students with disabilities (30.6%), and 1,004 schools (85.7%) including those handled by other committees.
