Admission in September “Recent introduction difficult” Proposed by LDP work team June 1 17:55
Regarding the “September admission”, the LDP's work team summarized the proposal that the latest introduction such as this year and next year is difficult, saying that national agreement is necessary for wide-ranging system reform.
The Liberal Democratic Party's work team, which had been considering "September admission," made recommendations at a meeting on the 1st.
The recommendation suggests that the significance of its introduction is extremely wide, such as not only responding to internationalization but also the opportunity to realize the social and educational reforms required in the era of Reiwa. "It is difficult to introduce the most recent one like this year and next year" because it requires a national agreement and a certain period of time.
In addition, in order to guarantee the learning opportunities for children, we will consider special measures to extend the period of this year until March next year for a certain period, and if the second and third waves of infection occur, the period will be further extended. We are requesting to respond flexibly, such as by extending.
In addition, it should be considered that the schedule for university entrance examinations, including the university entrance examination, should be delayed for about 2 weeks to 1 month.
Furthermore, regarding future discussions regarding "September enrollment," we ask that we carefully consider the opinions of experts and the voices of various groups of people across the nation and carefully examine them.
Former Deputy Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, chair of the work team, said, "It is the biggest point of this discussion to think about how to recover the delay of learning during school holidays and what to do with" September admission "as a system. That was the point. We need to continue discussing educational reforms. "
The work team will submit the proposal to Prime Minister Abe on the 2nd.
