The Report about the University Reformation of "Zaikai"

Abstract

The ZAIKAI is the business world(Economic Organizations)in Japn.In recent years the business world has begun taking an active interest in the higher education in Japan.This is reflected by a drestic increase in the number of propositions of the business world to the university reformation.They contain a sharp criticism of the present educational system in Japan. Japanese educational system at universities has been criticized these days for several reasons:The system of the higher education in Japan is too hard(as iron)to develop creative or individualistic thinking.One of the problems in the Japanese educational system is that it tends to shape a whole population into a homogeneous national standard.This system tend to discourage individuality or creativity in students. The report of the Japanese business world outlines the "evils of uniformity".The key words of these report are importance of individuality or creativity.But this individuality or creativity have ever been considered rather negatively in Japanese companies. It's questionable whether the Japanese business world, which is talking about educational reformation, is prepared to do that.
