The Central Council for Education's University Subcommittee and Future Vision Subcommittee held a joint meeting to publish a draft grand design report for higher education for 2040. In response to the decline in the 18-year-old population and major changes in the social structure, we are strongly conscious of the survival of the university, such as demanding the establishment of a system that allows one national university corporation to operate multiple national universities.
According to the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, the report is a measure to survive the university's decline in the 18-year-old population.
・ One national university corporation operates multiple national universities
・ Multiple universities have established a "university cooperation promotion corporation (tentative name)" beyond the national, public and private frameworks to facilitate cooperation such as credit transfer.
・ Smoothly promote business transfer for each faculty of a private university
・ Launch a regional collaboration platform (tentative name) for regional industry-academia-government collaboration
-They are requesting the establishment of laws and guidelines necessary for their realization.
Of these, plans for one national university corporation to operate multiple national universities are clear at Nagoya University and Gifu University, Shizuoka University and Hamamatsu Medical University, Obihiro University of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine in Hokkaido, Otarushoka University, and Kitami Institute of Technology. It has become.
Especially in Hokkaido, Tohoku, San'in, and Shikoku, where the population is declining seriously, the search for cooperation that transcends national, public and private boundaries has begun under the surface, and if national legislation progresses, the movement for cooperation and integration will accelerate at once. That's it.
