Business summary
The declining birthrate is accelerating more than expected, and it is thought that an era of university selection will come. There are many concerns, especially about securing Japanese students and attracting international students, which is expected due to the decline in the 18-year-old population in the Kinki region. In addition, considering the increase in school recommendation-type and comprehensive selection, the introduction of inquiry-based evaluation-type entrance exams, and the expected changes in educational content from the GIGA School Initiative that actively promotes ICT education, each university will need to design new selection and connection education in order to achieve high school-university transition.
Therefore, we will implement a project called “Kyoto High School-University Regional Network (KARN)” for high school and university faculty and staff in Kyoto Prefecture, with the aim of strengthening the university admissions system throughout Kyoto, promoting its appeal, and developing and networking human resources who can realize entrance exam reform and high school-university connection.

| Part 1: “Learn the basics of university entrance exams: Correctly understand the entrance exam system and data, and think about the future of universities” | |
|---|---|
| overview | With the 18-year-old population declining, entrance exam reform and high school-university transition reform are urgent issues for each university. The important thing in proceeding with reform is to first correctly understand the national policy and the entrance exam system of national, public and private universities based on it. Then, it is important to be familiar with the entrance exam examples of other universities, including the background of their introduction. Only then can you look objectively at your own university’s entrance exam and proceed with reform with “meta” thinking. This time, we will correctly understand the trends in the 18-year-old population and entrance exam data that we think we “sort of understand,” and explore the current situation and future of universities in Kyoto. In the group work, each university will present case studies and exchange information, and it will be an opportunity to build a network of faculty and staff of universities in Kyoto. After the program, there will be a social gathering, so please join us! |
