Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Hagita reiterated the idea of taking measures to prevent infection with the new coronavirus and implementing it as planned for the "university admission common test", which took less than a month to be implemented, and when the physical condition was not perfect. I called on him to apply for a follow-up exam without overdoing it.
The "University Admission Common Test" scheduled to be held for the first time next month will take into consideration the effects of the new coronavirus, with the first schedule being January 16th and 17th for two days, and the second schedule being January 30th. It is held for two days on the 31st, and a total of more than 530,000 people have applied.
Regarding this, Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Hagita said at a press conference after the Cabinet meeting, "I would like to implement it as planned so that not only the examinees but also parents and high school teachers will not waste their efforts," and took measures to prevent infection. I reiterated the idea of implementing it as planned above.
On top of that, he said, "If you feel uneasy about your physical condition, please do not overdo it to protect yourself and the students around you." If you are not in good physical condition, do not overdo it and apply for a follow-up exam. I called for you to do it.
