I found that there are times when.
Regarding the evaluation of club activities in high school entrance exams, it has been pointed out that there are cases where it is difficult to see the criteria and points, and there are cases where you cannot leave the school because of excessive expectations and fear of being disadvantaged by taking the exam.

Among the local governments that answered that it is a comprehensive judgment material, there are cases where the top half or more passers are decided based on the results of the academic ability test, and the description of the internal report such as club activities is also evaluated for other pass / fail judgments. was.
In addition, the remaining 14 prefectures answered "Other", and there were cases where club activities were not evaluated in the general entrance examination, and cases where the correspondence was different for each school.
