Japanese Universities looking at Education Export Market

“Next year for the first time there will be more higher educational places available in Japan than there will be students to fill them as the country’s declining population starts to overtake the infrastructure built up over several decades to supply workers to a rapidly developing economy that placed high value on educational credentials….While financial reforms and better services for students will be the key to survival in the ear of excess supply of places, the emerging interest in attracting more foreign students raises questions about whether Japan can become a competitor in the international education market…..There are now about 120,000 foreign students at Japanese higher educational institutions, or 3 per cent of the total student population. But the number of foreigners has doubled in the past six years.” (The Australian Financial Review)
