On March 2016, 3, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology said that the tuition fee for national universities would be significantly increased, such as "an increase of about 4 yen in 15 years, and a tuition fee of about 40 yen." In response to the inquiry, we announced that we are not considering raising the tuition fees of national universities by as much as 93 yen in the future.
Inquiries regarding the correctness of this significant increase in the tuition fees of national universities were made at the House of Representatives / Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Committee held on December 2015, 12. The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) responded to the question from the committee members, "If you increase your income by 1% every year, and if you proceed in this way, how much will the tuition fee be estimated to increase in 1 years?" It is believed that it was sent to the answer that was answered.
The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology emphasized that the answer is only a trial calculation based on certain assumptions and does not represent the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's approach to tuition fees at national universities.At the same time, the idea that "covering a large increase in self-income with tuition income may lead to a significant increase in the amount of money, which is difficult in the current economic situation and severe household situation" 2016 2 At the House of Representatives / Budget Committee on the 10th of March, Hiroshi Hase, Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology replied that he was explaining.
The standard amount of tuition for national universities is set by the national government, and each national university sets the amount.The standard amount is basically set on the premise that the educational expenses will not be borne by the students as much as possible, taking into consideration the socio-economic situation, etc., and the standard amount has not been raised in the last 10 years. Even in the FY2016 budget, it has not been raised to the same amount as in FY2015 (53 yen).
