The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has consulted with the Council for the Establishment of Universities and School Corporations about applications from private universities wishing to increase the capacity in 2017. There are 20 schools for 2058 students, of which 2018 large-scale schools for 3 students will start full-scale regulation of capacity increase from the application for 894.It is believed that he rushed to apply for the full-scale regulation.
According to the Ministry of Education, applications for capacity increases were in March and June as usual.This time we consulted for the June application.Among 3 schools such as Seinan Gakuin University in Fukuoka Prefecture, Kogakuin University in Tokyo, and Kyoto Women's University in Kyoto Prefecture, large-scale schools such as Chuo University in Tokyo, Meiji Gakuin University, and Kobe Gakuin University in Hyogo Prefecture 6 An application from the school was included.
The application will be deliberated by the University Establishment and School Corporation Council, which is scheduled to be held later this month, but if approved, the capacity of large-scale schools will increase to 3, including the already approved March application. In the March application, the number of students was increased at Nihon University in Tokyo, Aoyama Gakuin University, Toyo University, Kinki University in Osaka Prefecture, and Ritsumeikan University in Kyoto Prefecture.
In order to prevent university students from concentrating on the three major metropolitan areas and increase the number of students studying in rural areas, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has accepted a certain percentage of students from the three major metropolitan areas since 2016. We have embarked on tightening regulations, such as not allowing the increase in capacity from the following year.Since full-scale implementation will start from the application for 2018, it is expected that there were a series of rush applications for large-scale schools.
The decline in the 2018-year-old population, also known as the "university 18 problem," has put many local private universities on the brink of abolition.Since the decline of local private universities will have a big negative effect on regional revitalization, which the government is promoting as a priority measure, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has decided to curb the capacity of large-scale schools, but the competition for examinees is fierce ahead of full-scale regulation. Is increasing.
