It has been revealed that three students were unable to take the entrance exam because the staff at a private junior high school in Fukuoka City did not submit their applications for admission to a public high school by the deadline.

The deadline for submitting applications was at noon, two hours earlier, and the school explained that the reason for the late submission was that they mistakenly thought that the deadline for submitting applications for this public high school was the same as for prefectural high schools, the 20th of last month.



As a result, three students were unable to take the general entrance exam held on the 22nd of last month.



The school hastily offered the three students the option of attending a private high school attached to the school, but two of the three will take the prefectural high school entrance exam to be held this month.
