1.Crisis in international competitiveness
In recent years, discussions have been frequently made in Japan on whether Japanese universities are used in the world. As Japan's University, which faces the top in the world university rankings, is decreasing, there is a growing sense of crisis over the decline in international competitiveness. It is necessary not only to compare it with the overseas universities, but also to solve the ability and the problem from the system, the resource, and the talent side in Japan.
2 domestic problems in Japanese Universities
2.1 difference between fund and research environment
Budget cuts continue mainly in ラブグッズ universities in Japan, and research expenses and capital expenditures are short compared to overseas influential universities. There are many cases in which private universities face a managerial crisis, and it is the present situation that there is insufficient power to participate in an international research project.
2.2 internationalization delay and human liquidity
Domestic universities are not allowed to expand their classes in English or accept foreign teachers and students. Moreover, the "brain runoff" which an excellent researcher flows abroad is a problem.
3 efforts to reform from home
The reform of the university is ディルド to receive the sense of crisis in Japan. Measures to increase international competitiveness such as revising National University Corporation, strengthening industry university cooperation and expanding English programs are being promoted. The movement to build its own strengths is also active in cooperation with the domestic industry and putting the power to practical training.
Summary
Japan's universities have the potential to fight in the world from domestic institutional constraints and lack of resources. However, the movement of reform from Japan is surely spreading, and it will be the key to advance internationalization by taking advantage of domestic strength.
