<Part 1> 9:30~12:30

Time	Contents
Keynote Speech 9:30~10:25	Theme: A turning point in the connection between Japan high schools and universities Speaker: Takao Sasaki (Project Professor, Graduate School of Public Policy, Hokkaido University)
	The "Japan-type high school-university connection," which lacks a common grasp of academic ability in the educational connection from high school to university and relies on the grasp of academic ability necessary for connecting university entrance examinations, is facing a crisis as a system due to (1) the flexibility of the high school curriculum, and (2) "non-academic ability selection" and "minority subject entrance examinations." The "High School-University Connection Test (tentative name)" aims to make a systematic shift in response to such crises. It is necessary to build infrastructure for high school-university connections centered on "completion of general education" through goal-based achievement tests, and to ensure the quality of secondary education and higher education at the knowledge-based society stage.
