Regarding the fact that the National Center for University Entrance Examinations is trying to raise the grade provision fee collected from the participating universities of the Common Test for University Admissions, the Public University Association will damage the financial base of the participating universities and prevent the university management from being affected. Submitted a document to the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology requesting that the National Center for University Entrance Examinations take appropriate financial measures.
According to the Kodaikyo, the document is in the name of Kaoru Katori (President of Aomori Public University), who is acting as chairman, and is addressed to Koichi Hagiuda, Minister of Science and Technology.The document shows that the common test for university admission is conducted with the participating universities and the examinees as direct beneficiaries, but it also addresses the social issues of the country such as dealing with the examinees with disabilities and correcting the financial burden gap of the examinees. It is said that the benefits will spread to the whole society.
It also calls on the state to implement financial measures to ensure that the National Center for University Entrance Examinations fulfills its role and does not hurt the financial base of participating universities.
Since the income and expenditure of the National Center for University Entrance Examinations is deteriorating due to the decrease in the number of examinees due to the declining birthrate, the fee for providing grades collected from participating universities will be from 2021 yen per case in 1 to 750 yen per case in 2022, and 1 in 1,200. We have decided to raise the price to 2023 yen per case.The examination fee borne by the examinee will remain unchanged.
On the other hand, participating universities have complained about the drastic increase in the fee for providing grades, saying that the university management is becoming more difficult due to the decrease in financial support of the country.
