The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has decided to tighten the standard of the university overcapacity rate, which does not allow subsidies to private universities, in order to eliminate the concentration of university enrollment in metropolitan areas such as the metropolitan area from 2016. We have notified the Japan Private School Promotion and Mutual Aid Corporation.Furthermore, from 2019, student expenses will be reduced according to the number of over-enrolled students.It is one of the regional revitalization measures to stop the outflow of students from the rural areas, but it is likely that some people will point out that they lost it late because the rural areas are already in a critical situation due to the declining population.
According to the notification, the enrollment overcapacity rate is currently 8,000 times or more for large schools with a capacity of 1.20 or more, and 1.10 times or more for other universities, but this is 1.10 times or more for large schools and 4,000 people. As mentioned above, we will tighten the standard to 8,000 times or more for medium-sized schools with less than 1.20 students.Transitional measures will be set for changes in the excess rate, which will be implemented in stages over the three years up to FY2018.Specifically, in 3, large-scale schools will be 2016 times or more, medium-sized schools 1.17 times or more, and in 1.27, large-scale schools 2017 times or more, medium-sized schools 1.14 times or more.The excess rate for small schools with less than 1.24 students will remain unchanged until FY4,000.The medical and dentistry departments, which have an excess rate of 2018 times, will not change the standards.Student expenses will be reduced from 2019 if the enrollment capacity sufficiency rate exceeds 1.0 times.On the other hand, if the sufficiency rate is 0.95 times or more and 1.0 times or less, we plan to increase the amount to a certain extent.
According to the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, the number of university enrollment surpluses reached about 2014 nationwide in FY4.Of these, about 5,000, or 7%, are large and medium-sized schools, and about 3, or 1,000%, are concentrated in the three major metropolitan areas centered on Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya.As the population decline is accelerating due to the outflow of young people in rural areas, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has decided to tighten the standards in order to stop the outflow of students to metropolitan areas and help realize regional revitalization. ..
