I understood.

 According to the Ministry of Education, Nagasaki University will establish a new Faculty of Information and Data Science, and Utsunomiya University and Gunma University will establish a joint education faculty, but there will be 11 medical faculties including Asahikawa Medical University, Yamagata University, Tohoku University, and Shiga Medical University. At first, the enrollment capacity of the entire national university will decrease due to plans to reduce the capacity of the Faculty of Education at Hiromae University, Niigata University, Nagasaki University, and Kagoshima University.

 The reduction in the number of doctors in the medical school is affected by the fact that the temporary increase in the number of doctors in the medical school, which is being carried out to solve the shortage of doctors in the region, has shrunk based on future demand forecasts.Gifu University will abolish the special support school teacher training course of the Faculty of Education, and Kagoshima University will abolish the special support education teacher training course of the Faculty of Education.

 On the other hand, at the graduate school, Fukui University will abolish the Graduate School of Education, Shimane University will abolish the Graduate School of Comprehensive Science and Engineering, Hokkaido University of Education will major in nursing education, Wakayama University will major in school education, and Ryukyu University will abolish the school education major and subject education major. , Osaka University is the Graduate School of Engineering, Wakayama University is the Graduate School of Tourism, Miyazaki University is the Graduate School of Medical and Veterinary Medicine, and 9 schools have decided to increase the capacity of 12 graduate schools, so the total capacity is 312 people.
