An urgent investigation by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology that a total of 10 schools are likely to be inappropriate or inappropriate due to inappropriate pass / fail judgment problems such as discrimination against girls and ronin that have been revealed one after another in medical schools nationwide. I found out.As a result, at least 300 candidates are believed to have been unfairly rejected.

 According to the Ministry of Education, there are nine universities with inappropriate pass / fail judgments: Tokyo Medical University, Juntendo University, Kitasato University, Showa University, Kanazawa Medical University, Fukuoka University, Kobe University, Iwate Medical University, and Nihon University. It was.The pass / fail judgment that is likely to be inappropriate is one of St. Marianna University School of Medicine.

 The breakdown of improper operation is that there are four schools, Tokyo Medical University, Juntendo University, Kitasato University, and St. Marianna University School of Medicine, which give uniform points to male examinees.A total of seven schools, including Showa University, Kanazawa Medical University, and Fukuoka University, treated these four schools at a disadvantage.

 Kobe University, Iwate Medical University, and Nihon University gave preferential treatment to graduate children and local examinees.Each university has announced the facts, but since St. Marianna University School of Medicine continues to deny the intention of discrimination, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has only stated that it is likely to be inappropriate, and is a third-party committee member. I asked the meeting to scrutinize the situation.

 In addition, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology listed nine items that could lead to suspicion, such as creating a list of examinees recommended by alumni associations and filling in the interview evaluation sheet to see if the guardian is an alumni.The number of universities that have seen cases that could lead to suspicion has not been announced, but it seems that there are more than a dozen.

 The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology intends to end the situation with this announcement, but many private universities will start accepting general entrance exams from the beginning of the year, and there are concerns about the impact on the examinees due to the announcement just before the actual performance.
