On January 19, today is the first day of Japan's 2020 academic year college entrance examination. Nearly 560000 students entered the examination room. It is reported that the Japanese college entrance examination is divided into two days, the first day in liberal arts and the second day in science. Candidates can choose examination subjects according to the requirements of universities and majors. Usually, private universities need to take three subjects, while national universities need to take seven subjects. As in China, the college entrance examination is also an important turning point in Japanese young people's life. Every college entrance examination day, some relatives, friends and tutors will gather at the gate of the examination center to cheer up for the candidates.
It is reported that this year is the last examination under Japan's current college entrance examination system. In order to train talents to adapt to the international society, the Japanese government will reform the content of the 'college entrance examination' from next year. " The new college entrance examination 'pays more attention to students' thinking and expression ability, and will increase the proportion of subjective questions and answers in Chinese and mathematics subjects. At the same time, in order to promote the reform of English education, the "new college entrance examination" will also improve the proportion of listening and speaking questions in the English examination, and the English ability of "learning for application" will become the top priority. In recent years, the status of Japanese universities in the world has declined, mainly due to the low degree of internationalization. Japan plans to start with the college entrance examination and train international talents who can find problems independently and solve problems with language ability through a series of educational reforms.
