Little by little, it's starting to move forward.Two teachers from the high school field contributed to the proposals of the "Conference on the Ideal Way of University Entrance Examinations" issued this summer, and the common subject "Information" that attracts attention for handling in the 2025 entrance examinations.
First of all, from the contribution of the principal of Tokyo Metropolitan Hachioji Higashi High School, Hisaya Miyamoto.
Conclusions made by the "Conference on the Ideal Way of University Entrance Examinations"
On July 2025th, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's "Study Meeting on the Ideal Way of University Entrance Examinations" will discuss the utilization of English qualifications and certification exams (hereinafter referred to as "English private exams") and the introduction of descriptive questions in the common test for university entrance exams after XNUMX. He announced a proposal that "it is difficult to realize."
This review meeting received the introduction of the "University Entrance Examination English Grade Providing System" and the Common Test for University Admissions, which were announced in November and December 2019, and the introduction of Japanese and math writing questions. It was established in December 11 to examine the ideal way of university entrance exams, including skill evaluation and descriptive questions, and has been discussed 12 times since January 2019.
In the proposal, regarding the utilization of the English private examination in the framework of the common test for university admission, the issues pointed out at the conference, such as the number of venues, examination fee, number of times of examination, and consideration for students with disabilities differ depending on the examination. It is not easy to overcome in a short period of time.In addition, due to the fact that private exams are canceled or postponed due to the corona sickness, and the issue of a mechanism that is excessively dependent on external exams is recognized, fairness similar to that of the common test for university admission is expected. We conclude that it is difficult to realize this method.
In addition, although there is some significance in introducing descriptive questions in the Common Test for University Admissions, more than 50 people take the exam on the same day and at the same time, and the results are required to be provided in a short period of time. It was concluded that it is not easy to secure high graders and overcome issues such as inconsistency between scoring results and self-scoring, and it is difficult to realize.
On the other hand, the proposal acknowledged the importance of comprehensive English proficiency evaluation and descriptive questions, and suggested that the use of English private exams and the questioning of descriptive questions should be promoted in individual exams conducted by each university. ..
