The career information media “Study Sapuri Shinro” provided by Recruit Co., Ltd. conducts regular surveys to understand the situation and awareness of high school students who are considering their career path.This time, in September 2022, we have released some of the results of the “Survey on Impact on High School Career Choice Behavior” conducted for high school students nationwide who intend to go on to university.Number of valid responses: 9 (2,524 first year high school students, 1 second year high school students, 875 third year high school students)
New course of study will start from April 2022.In the new curriculum, the subjects and subjects will be reorganized, and the content to be studied in high school will also change significantly, and the entrance examination will also change. In order to change from the 4st year of high school as of April 2022, the current 4nd year of high school will be the last year of the entrance examination for the old course.In this survey, we asked about the change in awareness and career considerations of high school students in the last year of the old program and in the first year of the new program, regarding the entrance examination for the new program.
According to a survey, when asked, "Do you know that the entrance exam will be changed to accommodate the new curriculum from 2025?"1% of first-year high school students, who are targeted for the first year of the change, are conscious of the entrance examination from an early stage. When asked, "Is there anything I should be aware of when considering my career path due to changes in the entrance exam to accommodate the new curriculum?" The percentage of those who were conscious of “I want to go on to college while working” (2%) was the highest.Among second-year high school students, there was a strong desire to avoid being a ronin, and about half of them said they wanted to go on to higher education while still working.
When asked, "Have you decided on your first choice school?", as of September, 1% of first-year high school students, 9% of second-year high school students, and 1% of third-year high school students decided on their first choice school.Looking at the year-on-year rate of increase, second-year high school students increased by 1 points to 36.4%, more than half, and it seems that the "first choice school decision" is further accelerated.Regarding the entrance examination methods under consideration, "comprehensive selection" increased the most from the previous year, +2pt (56.6%), and there are other so-called "entrance examinations within the year" such as "school recommendation type selection (public recruitment system / designated school)". An increasing number of high school students are considering
From the results of this survey, it has become clear that the time to decide on the first school of choice is getting earlier, and that the examination method "within the year entrance examination (comprehensive selection / school recommendation type selection)" is increasing.It is worth noting that this trend is occurring regardless of the grade level or the percentage of students going on to university or junior college. ``New year entrance examination (general selection/common test use)'' is 1%, which is higher than ``year-end entrance examination consideration'' 67.0%, but the increase in "year-end entrance examination consideration" compared to the previous year (+47.8pt) is large.
Maya Ikeuchi, a researcher at Recruit Advancement Research Institute, said, ``In order for high school students to secure sufficient information and preparation time and proceed with satisfactory career considerations, it is important to have all the information about the entrance examination method. With diversification, it is quite difficult to determine “the university that suits you” before entering.1% of high school students change their first choice school when taking the exam, and 4% do not change (recruit admission) Considering this from the Research Institute's "Census for Advancement 6"), the university side is required to do more publicity activities to enter the list of first-choice candidate schools at the time of considering the lower grades.
