The industry-academia council, which consists of representatives of Keidanren and national, public and private universities, will deepen discussions on the globalization of universities regarding the discussion of the transition of universities to September admission. Has issued a welcome statement.

 According to the Keidanren, the statement welcomes that Japanese universities discussing the transition to September admission, which is the same as in Europe and the United States, will lead to globalization, as well as enhancing foreign language education, expanding the overseas study system, and accepting foreigners. He called for expansion and curriculum reform at the same time.

 Furthermore, in addition to spring enrollment and graduation, some universities have introduced autumn enrollment and graduation, and they have been accepted by society, and companies are actively responding to the movement to introduce autumn graduation at universities.However, he expressed concern that the spread of the new coronavirus infection could lead to anti-globalization movements, which could reduce the number of Japanese university students studying abroad.

 For students who are currently looking for a job, we promised to carry out flexible recruitment activities multiple times and disclose appropriate information. Clarified the policy to consider expansion.

 Some expect that September admission to the university will lead to the promotion of internationalization by shifting to the same system as in Europe and the United States, but the LDP working team said on the 9th that there was confusion in the educational field and no national consensus was obtained. As it is difficult to introduce the latest system, it is virtually postponing.
