In this paper, first, I describe about the current situation of reformation of articulation between high school and universities and Japanese Association of First-Year Experience. Then, I discuss about the future issues. In articulation between high school and universities, a direction is indicated, which is to change the evaluation standard of students at high schools and universities. On the other hand, in Japanese First-Year Experience, they attempt to fill the gap of students between the ability, which universities require, and the one of students at the time of enrolment. There are challenges in both cases. The former case may take away motivation from students to obtain basic academic skills required at universities. The latter case, huge human cost will be the problem at universities.
