Japan announces rule against enrollment hike at Tokyo universities
Jiji -- Aug 15
Japan's education ministry on Monday announced a rule that will not allow in principle an increase in the enrollment limits at private universities in Tokyo's densely populated 23 wards, beginning in fiscal 2018 from next April.

The regulation, announced in a draft revision to its notice regarding the establishment of universities, is intended to correct the concentration of young people in the Japanese capital. The ministry will amend the notice after seeking comments from the public until Sept. 12.

The draft revision says that an increase in the enrollment quotas will not be allowed for private universities, including two-year colleges, in the 23 wards in fiscal 2018. For fiscal 2019, not only an increase in the enrollment limits but also the establishment of new universities and colleges, and the creation of new faculties and courses at existing institutions that lead to an increase in the admission capacities will not be permitted, according to the draft. fake rolex replica watch rolex
