The Central Council for Education, an advisory body of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, has put together a draft report that emphasizes practical training for the newly established higher education institute for professional training."Professional universities" and "professional universities" are listed as name candidates.The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology is expected to make a formal report in the near future, and will start the procedure for amending the related bills with the aim of opening it at the end of 2018.

 According to the draft report, the new higher education institution will have a four-year system and a two- to three-year system, and will be positioned as a type of university. You can get a bachelor's degree in a 4-year system and a junior college degree in a 2-3 year system.The professionals to be trained include professionals in the tourism field, programmers and designers who also propose ideas in the IT field, and producers who are also developing processed products in the agricultural field.As the globalization and sophistication of the industry progresses, we aim to develop human resources who will lead the improvement by improving their abilities in the field.

 Classes emphasize practical training, and students are required to study in-house training for a total of 2 hours in a two-year system and 300 hours in a four-year system, and 4 to 600% of the credits required for graduation are used as practical training and practice subjects.Students accept vocational school graduates and working people, and full-time teachers are obliged to make more than 3% of practitioners working in each field.

 Higher education institutions aiming to train professionals were proposed by the government's Education Rehabilitation Committee in 2014, and the Central Council for Education had been discussing them for a year.In Western countries, educational institutions that emphasize practical studies have already been established and are demonstrating their power in training professionals.
