At the government's "Educational Future Creation Conference," Prime Minister Kishida will discuss concrete measures to encourage the reorganization of university faculties and the creation of "promotion-paying" scholarships according to income after graduating from university. I instructed him to put together a recommendation.
In this, Prime Minister Kishida pointed out that the proportion of students in science and engineering is significantly lower than in other countries, regarding the ideal way of higher education.
After that, we will proceed with the examination of measures to promote career advancement by reorganizing the university's faculties into growth fields such as digital, creating "promotion-paying" scholarships according to income after graduating from university, and re-learning, from the perspective of women's advancement. Based on this, I instructed to put together a proposal by the end of May.
Prime Minister Kishida said, "Investing in people such as education and human resource development is a source of growth. I hope that the relevant ministers will work together to realize a new capitalism where everyone can have dreams and hopes."
