On September 20, ninety-seven 97 % of Japan\u2019s junior colleges and universities were permitted by the nation\u2019s education ministry to avail free education programs for students from low-income households.\u00a0<\/b>
\nThe launch is set for April 2020, and one thousand and seventy-four (1,074) <\/b>junior colleges<\/b><\/a> and universities will offer these programs.\u00a0<\/b>
\nThis number is incredible as it represents the majority of Japan\u2019s higher institutions of learning. Nevertheless, thirty-one (31) of them did not submit their applications to the ministry for accreditation based on factors, such as financial challenges.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Japan\u2019s junior colleges and universities certification<\/b><\/h2>\n

The education ministry asserted that out of the junior colleges and universities suitable to offer free education, one thousand and forty-three (1,043) of them had been certified.<\/b>
\nExpressly, they comprise of two hundred and ninety-nine (299) junior colleges and seven hundred and forty-four (744) universities.\u00a0<\/b>
\nThe ministry noted that all public and national universities, such as Kyoto University and the University of Tokyo, were permitted eligibility. Moreover, all the fifty-seven (57) technical colleges were given a similar status.\u00a0<\/span>
\nThe free education system being introduced in these institutions is meant to avert the division of educational opportunities. This is founded on the actuality that the number of people having a higher education from low-income households is considerably less.\u00a0<\/b>
\nOn the other hand, it has been revealed that dental and medical universities did not apply because of the high tuition fees required by students.\u00a0<\/span>
\nThe free education programs will be funded partly from the elevated consumption tax that will be effective from next month.\u00a0<\/span>
\nNevertheless, they are deemed helpful because the ministry speculates that nearly seven hundred and fifty thousand (750,000) people will be beneficiaries.\u00a0<\/b>
\nOn the other hand, <\/span>the Japanese Ministry of Education has announced a new plan to help educational institutions better as <\/span>more international students join all levels of schooling in the country<\/span><\/a>. This will include both junior colleges and universities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
