The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has set up a consultation desk in the ministry to deal with fraudulent activities that frequently occur in university entrance examinations.In the final report compiled in May by the Council of Experts, who had been discussing ensuring the fairness of university entrance exams as a whole, in response to a request to set up a consultation desk with the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology to help examinees who have been cheated. We accept consultations by both mail and email.

 According to the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology requires that the name of the university, the name of the faculty and department, the classification of the entrance examination method, the date of the examination, and the grounds for the suspected injustice be stated.The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology will discuss the content, and if it determines that a response is necessary, the content of the contact will be forwarded to the relevant university to encourage the response.

 However, since the content of the consultation is forwarded as it is, the counselor may be identified by the university.For this reason, it is possible that the examinees may be reluctant to consult, and there remains a question as to how well the consultation desk will function.

 In 2018, inappropriate entrance exams that discriminate against women and ronin were discovered one after another at medical schools such as Tokyo Medical University and Juntendo University.According to a survey by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, 9 schools including Tokyo Medical University and Juntendo University were judged to be "inappropriate", and St. Marianna University School of Medicine, which does not admit fraud, was also pointed out as "highly likely to be inappropriate". There is.

 In response to this, former examinees who allegedly committed fraud have filed proceedings against Tokyo Medical University, Juntendo University, Showa University, etc. one after another.The Council of Experts established by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology requested the Ministry of Education to move to help the examinees, such as setting up a consultation desk.
