Problems between Universities and Senior High Schools (1st report)

Senior High Schools

Abstract

The paper describes the current situation of senior high school students from the author′s experience at the board of education of Kochi prefecture. Inadequate education in mathematics in junior high school has resulted in a lack of interest in this subject and, consequently, a decrease in the number of senior high school graduates entering the science and technology departments of universities. The cooperation between universities and senior high schools is necessary to resolve the problem.
