Business Overview
The declining birthrate is expected to accelerate more than expected and the era of university selection is expected to arrive, and there are many concerns about securing Japan students and acquiring international students, especially due to the decline in the 18-year-old population in the region. In addition, in light of the increase in school recommendation-type selection and comprehensive selection, the introduction of inquiry-based entrance examinations, and the transformation of educational content envisioned by the GIGA School Concept, which actively promotes ICT education, it is necessary to design new selection designs and connected education at each university in order to achieve the transition between high school and university.
Therefore, we will carry out a project for high school and university faculty and staff in Kyoto Prefecture under the name of “Kyoto High School and University Connection Regional Network (KARN)” with the aim of strengthening the reception system for university students in Kyoto as a whole, promoting the appeal of the university, and aiming for human resource development and networking that can realize entrance examination reform and high school-university connections.

| Part 1 “Are there really students that the university is aiming for in the entrance exam that year? | |
|---|---|
| Overview |
As the entrance examination expands within the year, there is no end to concerns about “guaranteeing academic ability” and “maintaining motivation until admission” in the field. In this project, we will discuss the confusion in the field about whether the entrance examination for the year is simply “securing a quota early” or whether “students who meet the admission policy are being taken”. Using hints from the successes, failures, and concerns of other universities, we will look back on how to restructure entrance examinations and education at our own universities. At the same time, KANN will plan a series of opportunities to create a grand design for the year’s entrance examination with an eye on growth after entering the school, which will lead from “early securing” to “education”. Faculty and staff who want to update the selection and education of their own universities are welcome to join us. After the program, we will also have a social gathering, so please feel free to join us as a place to exchange information and exchange information! |
