The Japan Association of Private Universities has announced its view calling for the government's policy of free higher education and the revision of the Local University Promotion Law, which limits the number of universities in the 23 wards of Tokyo.Kaoru Kamata, President of Waseda University, the chairman of Dairen, announced at a press conference in Tokyo.

 According to private Dalian, the view acknowledges the significance of free higher education.However, low-income earners can attend national universities free of charge if they are implemented without correcting public financial expenditures and student payment disparities between national and private universities, while enrolling in private universities starts at 50 yen per year. You will be forced to bear the tuition fee of 450 million yen.He criticized that this could further widen the disparity between the country and the private sector, and demanded that the disparity be corrected.
The inclusion of the ratio of practitioner teachers and outside directors in the selection of schools to be supported is the introduction of standards that are not related to the free-of-charge policy, and is calling for correction as it threatens the idea of ​​independence and autonomy of private universities.

 He insisted that the university promotion law in Tokyo's 23 wards should be changed to a flexible response so that drastic reorganization and reforms would be possible.It is complaining that it is necessary to set up a third-party institution and take special measures such as admitting the need for new expansion of faculties and departments due to the increase in capacity, and judging from the viewpoint of rationality.

 He emphasized the need for human resource development, saying that reforms based on the free ideas of universities are indispensable for regional revitalization.The government is requesting the government to support small-scale projects promoted by local universities, regional revitalization projects conducted by universities in metropolitan areas, and to secure specialized human resources to connect regions and universities.
