The Japan Association of National Universities has agreed at the general meeting that the exam questions and answers will be open to the public in principle due to a series of additional passes due to mistakes in the entrance exams of Osaka University and Kyoto University.Taking into consideration the fact that some people have pointed out that not disclosing the correct answers and answer examples led to the delay in finding mistakes, we are requesting each university to announce them as soon as possible.

 According to the Japan Association of National Universities, the exam questions are prepared based on the enrollment acceptance policy of each university, so in principle they are made public.If it is difficult to process the rights of the copyrighted work in the exam questions, the company will try to clarify the content of the question by clearly indicating the copyrighted work.

 The correct answers and examples of answers will also be referred to by the examinees in the next fiscal year, and in order to respond to the demands of society for fair entrance examinations, we have clarified the policy of publishing in principle, but for descriptive questions that are difficult to give a unique answer, etc. , I decided to present the intention of the question and multiple answer examples.

 It is desirable to make the announcement as soon as possible after the examination so that the examinees can confirm the correctness by themselves and the persons concerned can check the questions.As for the method of publication, each university is requested to proceed appropriately, such as distributing it at the counter, posting it on the homepage for a certain period of time, and so on.

 In 2018, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology announced the "Guidelines for the Selection of University Enrollees" that included similar rules, and requested that national, public and private universities respond.
