The National Association of High School Directors has postponed the introduction of the English private exam to the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology because it is uncertain that students will be able to take the exam at the time and place desired by the university entrance exam in 2021. I submitted a request for a review of the system.
According to the National Association of High School Directors, the request is addressed to the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology under the name of Satoshi Hagiwara, President of the National Association of High School Directors. Despite the fact that private English exams using the university entrance exam English grade provision system will start in April 2020, the full details of the dates and locations of each exam have not been clarified, and about 4 of the four-year colleges. He pointed out that it is undecided whether one-third will be used, and pointed out that the anxiety of the examinees and the high school side has not been resolved.
In addition, one of the implementing organizations is near, collects the reservation fee, starts the reservation application, and announced the policy that the main reservation in February 1 will be on a first-come, first-served basis. He complains that the exam cannot be overlooked.
One of the causes of such confusion is that the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology and the National Center for University Entrance Examinations have not directly approached the implementing organizations, and the working group established to solve the problems has not reached a conclusion. There is a strong demand for postponement of the implementation of private English exams using the university entrance exam English grade provision system and review of the system.
The National Association of High School Directors held an extraordinary meeting of prefectural association directors to discuss measures based on the results of questionnaire surveys conducted by the association and reports from each prefecture.
