The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's Council of Experts has compiled the final report on the reform of the high school connection system centered on the introduction of descriptive questions into the National Center for University Entrance Examinations (tentative name) instead of the National Center for University Entrance Examinations.In the future, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology will decide a concrete policy by 2017.

 According to the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, there are two subjects, Japanese language and mathematics, which will be introduced in short sentences from 2 to 2020, and long sentences after 2023 when the next course of study is applied to high schools.The scoring is displayed in stages, not in 2024-point increments.Focusing on the fact that it takes time to score, we will consider setting a different schedule.

 The mark sheet problem emphasizes thinking ability such as creating formulas and graphs.As for the scoring result, not only the score but also the analysis of the strong field and the weak field will be considered.

 The multiple times a year was postponed in consideration of the impact on high school classes and event schedules.The CBT exam, which is conducted using a computer, has been left as an issue after 2024, when the next course of study will be applied.Difficulty setting, question range, and introduction of artificial intelligence for scoring are also listed as issues to be considered.

 On the other hand, the Japan Association of National Universities expects to shift from the conventional knowledge-oriented entrance examination to a multifaceted evaluation, but points out that it has not touched on the construction of a selection system from a global perspective for international students. We have issued a statement calling for consideration of.
