The Japan Association of National Universities has announced that it will impose 2020 subjects in 1 subjects as the first examination for general selection for entrance examinations for national universities after 5.For the time being, the current method of dividing the examination schedule into the first and second semesters will be continued for individual examinations, and efforts for comprehensive selection and school-recommended selection will be accelerated, taking into account factors other than academic ability examinations.
According to the Japan Association of National Universities, the combination of common exams and individual exams is necessary and will be maintained in order to evaluate the academic ability of the examinees in a multifaceted and comprehensive manner.For this reason, even after the introduction of the Common Test for University Admissions after 2020, students will be required to take 5 subjects in 7 subjects as a common test.
In English, we will promote the use of private certification exams and impose them on all general-selected examinees, as well as have them take the English exams that will be held in the common test for university admissions until 2023.In Japanese and mathematics, all students are required to take the descriptive questions of the Common Test for University Admissions.
In the individual examination, advanced descriptive questions that ask questions such as thinking ability and judgment will be conducted, and each university will clarify the intent of the questions and the required abilities in the application guidelines.
Juichi Yamagiwa, President of the Japan Association of National Universities, said, "In the English certification exam, the financial burden on the examinees is reduced and the fairness of the exam opportunities is guaranteed. There are still issues such as methods, but I hope the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology will promptly resolve the issues. "
