Thinking about college in 20 years
The environment surrounding higher education in Japan continues to change at an unprecedented speed, such as the acceleration of economic and social globalization and changes in the industrial structure accompanied by rapid progress in the fields of AI and IOT, as the number of 18-year-olds, who are the main students who go on to higher education, is further decreasing. It is extremely important to develop human resources who can contribute to the maintenance and development of a sustainable society while responding to such changes in the environment, and higher education institutions are increasingly required to fulfill this role.
In response to a consultation from the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology in March last year, titled "Future Vision for Higher Education in Japan," the Central Council of Education is deliberating on the ideal form of higher education that should be aimed at with an eye on society around 2040 from a medium- to long-term perspective, and the direction of system revision to realize it. Under these circumstances, at this SD Forum, I would like you to think about and discuss together the various problems and issues that universities are facing in that era, while imagining the environment in which universities will be located in about 20 years.
