"University pass rate 96.3%" based on the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's basic school survey
Let's take a closer look at the entrance examination environment.According to the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's "Reiwa 12nd Year School Basic Survey" released in December of last year, the number of university enrollments in 2020 was 63 (5).The number of university applicants (actual number) in the same year was 635,003 (65) in full-time and part-time high schools, and 9 (659,135) in the second half of secondary school.
The total number of university applicants for the full-time / part-time high school and the second half of the secondary school is 66 (4).The difference from the 664,591 university enrollees mentioned earlier is 63 (5), which is less than 2.These 9 people have applied for university but have not passed, or even if they have passed, they have not entered the university.From this, some students will try the entrance exam again the following year, but I heard that during the heyday of the prep school, there were 29,588 enrolled students at a major prep school whose headquarters was in Yoyogi. Because there is, you can see how the passing rate to the university is increasing.
From the results of this basic school survey, the number of university enrollments divided by the number of university applicants is 96.3%, which is close to 100%.In terms of the actual number of students, 96.3% of the students who apply for university are able to enter the university.In other words, the macro-level university pass rate is 96.3%.If the number of university applicants for correspondence high schools is added to the number of university applicants (1), the difference from the number of university enrollees will be 3, but the pass rate will not change 12,963. %is.
At the macro level, it looks like a tough environment for the university and a hopeful environment for the students.There is, of course, a reason not to say that it is a hopeful environment, but I would like to take up the opportunity again.
