The survey was conducted from November to December 2017, targeting third-year high school students and their parents from 11 public and private high schools in the prefecture, including remote islands, and 12 high school students and 28 parents responded.
According to the report, 68.7% of those who wish to go on to university, but only 54.4% actually plan to go on to university.As for the reason why they couldn't fulfill their desire to go on to higher education, the household economic situation was the highest among households with an annual income of less than 200 million yen, accounting for 84.4%.Since there are few universities in the prefecture and many of them go on to study outside the prefecture, there were cases where low-income households had to give up going on to school due to economic problems.
Looking at the educational backgrounds of those who are planning to go on to university and their parents, it was found that if the mother's educational background is university or graduate school, the rate of going on to university is high.It seems that it is natural for mothers who have a junior high school or high school family to not go on to college.
It is also clear that the higher the fulfillment of high school life, the stronger the tendency to go on to higher school.By region, students on remote islands had a lower rate of enrollment than in the central part of the prefecture.
According to the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's Basic School Survey, the university enrollment rate in Okinawa Prefecture is 2017% as of March 3.Although it has been rising little by little in recent years, it is the lowest by prefecture, far below the national average of 39.5%.
