But these trials are not enough at this stage, so it is hard for national universities to obtain international competitiveness.
While the population of 18-year-olds is shrinking, the universities in Japan are now facing a crisis.
Proposal of this report for Science and Technology Colleges in Japan are follows :
Introduce World-top-level science and technology education and nurture top-level technical experts who have fundamental knowledge of science and excellent technological knowledge in specialized fields and will play important active part in the competitive environment of the world.
In particular,
1)Improve the quality of graduate school education.
