To withdraw the 20,000 yen benefit plan for Komeito high school third graders October 27, 4:17
As a result of reconsidering the plan to provide a uniform 20,000 yen to third-year high school students who are about to take university entrance exams, based on the cautious opinions of the Liberal Democratic Party, it is difficult to decide the target of the benefits , We have decided to withdraw once because we cannot maintain fairness.
Komeito says that the environment surrounding high school third graders and third-year high school students who are refraining from job hunting is becoming harsher due to the influence of the new coronavirus, and the Komeito is equivalent to the examination fee for the university entrance examination for third-year high school students and ronin. I recommended to the government to provide a uniform benefit of 20,000 yen.
However, in discussions with the Liberal Democratic Party, there were cautious opinions such as "income restrictions should be set for recipients" and "it is unexplainable to pay even for ronin."
Based on this, as a result of reexamination, the Komeito decided to withdraw once, saying that it is difficult to decide the target of benefits based on income etc. and it is not possible to maintain fairness, and told the Liberal Democratic Party.
The Komeito will continue to consider whether it can support students and others in other ways.
