The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology surveys national, public and private universities (including junior colleges), colleges of technology, and 1060 schools nationwide about the implementation of classes in the latter half of 2020 at each university.The results of the survey were announced.

 According to the survey, almost all universities are planning to hold face-to-face lessons regarding the lesson implementation policy in the second half of 2020.About 2% of universities plan to offer face-to-face lessons, and about 8% use both face-to-face and distance lessons.

 Schools that offer face-to-face lessons for classes that are judged to require face-to-face instruction, such as experiments, practical training, and practical skills, when asked about the specific concept of the combination for universities that plan to use face-to-face and distance lessons together. Is about 9%.Approximately 6% of lessons such as seminars centered on dialogue with a small number of people, face-to-face and distance lessons for one lesson at the same time, such as simultaneous broadcasting of face-to-face lesson contents and on-demand distribution by recording. About 5% of the schools used it.

 When asked what the ratio of both face-to-face and distance lessons is expected to be, about 6% answered that "about half or more of the entire class will be held face-to-face."Regarding points to keep in mind to ensure the quality of distance learning, about 9% of schools pay attention to ensuring interactivity in lessons, and about 7% ensure smooth lesson progress by conducting training on the use of ICT equipment. I answered that I should pay attention to.

 Regarding the availability of on-campus facilities, it is planned that all universities will be able to use the facilities, including some, from the latter half of the year, and about 3% will be fully available.Most of the specific restrictions at universities, etc., which have some restrictions, were "restrictions based on the purpose of use" and "procedures such as permission / application system".

 In addition, from the exchange of opinions with each university conducted by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, specific efforts to achieve both resumption of face-to-face classes and infection prevention were introduced.

* The population parameter is 86 national universities, 102 public universities, 815 private universities, and 57 technical colleges (1060 schools in total).
