The Japan Association of Private Universities has announced that the government has announced that there is a large difference between national and private universities in terms of support methods for free higher education, which may help fix the gap between national and private universities.The government is required to respond according to each student's ability and economic situation, regardless of the form of university establishment.
According to the Japan Association of Private Universities, the government decided on a "new economic policy package" in December 2017, and budgeted about 12 billion yen for free higher education.However, while students who go on to national universities are exempt from all tuition fees, students who go on to private universities say, "In addition to the tuition fees of national universities, a fixed amount that takes into account the level of average tuition fees of private universities. Up to the added amount "is shown.
The Japan Association of Private Universities argued that this could help close the gap between national and private universities, and requested the government to make improvements through the Japan Association of Private Universities.
In December 2017, the Japan Private University Association requested the government to equalize opportunities for higher education.He mentioned that the public finance expenditure per undergraduate student was about 12 times higher between national universities and private universities, and claimed that the current disparity was unreasonable and that drastic correction was urgently needed.
