According to the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's basic school survey (preliminary figures), the number of university students has increased by 1 from the previous year while the number of children and students enrolled in elementary, junior high and high schools has decreased due to the declining birthrate.This is because the university entrance rate is still rising, and the entrance rate is at a record high.
As of May 2016, 5, the survey investigated the number of enrolled students, teachers, graduates, enrolled students, employment, etc. from kindergartens to graduate schools nationwide.Due to the Kumamoto earthquake in Kumamoto prefecture, numbers other than universities, junior colleges, and colleges of technology are not included.
According to the report, the total number of universities nationwide is 777, of which 86 are national, 91 are public, and 600 are private.Although the number of public schools increased by two, the number of private schools decreased by four, so the total number decreased by two from the previous year.Of these, the number of private law schools has decreased by 2 to 4.The number of junior colleges decreased by 2 to 3, and the number of colleges of technology was 69, the same as the previous year.
The number of students enrolled in the university as a whole is 287.The number increased by 3,000 from the previous year.Among them, the number of undergraduate students was 1, which was 3,000 higher than the previous year.
The number of female undergraduate students reached 1, an increase of 4,000 from the previous year, a new record high.The percentage of girls is 114%, which is the highest ever.
The number of junior college students was 4, a decrease of 4,200 from the previous year, which was a record low, due to the influence of girls' four-year orientation. After peaking in 12, it has been steadily declining, but the trend has not stopped.
Amid the declining birthrate, the increase in the number of university students is due to the increase in the enrollment rate.The rate of admission to universities and junior colleges, including ronin, is 0.3%, which is 56.8 points higher than the previous year, and the rate of admission to university faculties is 0.5%, which is 52.0 points higher than the previous year.Both recorded record highs.
