Adjusted in the direction of seeing off the university entrance common test "description problem" December 12 18:05
The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has made adjustments in the direction of deferring the implementation in January of next year, because it is difficult to resolve the issues related to scoring at present.
There are concerns about whether the quality of the scoring work entrusted to private companies can be ensured over the problem of writing language and mathematics that will be introduced in the university entrance common test starting in January next year. Some have pointed out that scoring is difficult.
Under these circumstances, the Liberal Democratic Party's subcommittee considers whether it can be implemented properly, and promptly expresses its policy, while the Komeito Party recommends review and postponement.
Based on this, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has been studying what improvements can be made in cooperation with private-sector operators who are scoring. However, at present, it is difficult to resolve the issues related to scoring. We are going to make adjustments in the direction of seeing off the implementation, and next week, the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology will clarify the policy.
About the university entrance examination, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology announced last month that the English private examination has been postponed because it is not a system that allows students to take the exam with confidence regardless of the economic situation or area of residence.
