"CompTIA IT Fundamentals", commonly known as "ITF", consists of standard problems that cultivate the foundation of IT skills such as computer systems and networks, and the next step in the Faculty of Informatics of Meisei University is "IT Passport" and "CompTIA". We are encouraging acquisition as a stepping stone to voluntary learning for "A +", "Basic Information Technology Engineer Examination", etc.The faculty has been holding a course for acquiring this qualification for seven years, and this is the first time that high school students have been accepted as a high school-university collaboration program.

　The reason why the students of Meisei High School took on the challenge of "ITF" was a special on-site lecture of a high school-university collaboration program by a faculty member of the Faculty of Informatics of Meisei University and a consultant of CompTIA Japan Bureau, which was held during the comprehensive study period.It is said that two students who were interested in it took the intensive course held at the university.

　Only one person took the exam in the end, but the attendance rate among high school students was still low, and the challenges of the students at Meisei High School were highly evaluated within the university.Both of the two students who took the course were in the first year of high school, and "it was interesting that the content was completely different from what I learned in the high school information class." I will do it. "

　At Meisei Junior and Senior High School, we would like to continue to participate in high school-university collaboration efforts from an early stage to broaden the range of students' interests.
