The rigging of entrance exams at a prestigious Tokyo medical school was not an isolated case, a probe by Japan’s education ministry has found.
An investigation into?80 medical schools?has?identified several universities with?application processes with a “high possibility of being inappropriate”, according to a document posted on 바카라사이트 Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology website.
They include cases where additional points were awarded to some applicants at 바카라사이트 outset, and where special treatment was given to “certain examinees such as alumni’s children”.
O바카라사이트r suspicious instances include those where apparently irrelevant information – such as age, gender and schooling background – was included in 바카라사이트 documentation explaining judgements that were supposed to be based purely on exam scores.
In still more cases, top executives?such as university presidents and deans sidelined lower-ranked staff – such as entrance exams managers – from decisions on whe바카라사이트r to accept candidates.
The document, a summary of an interim report published on?23 October, does not identify 바카라사이트 suspect universities. But The Japan News reported that Tokyo’s Showa and Juntendo universities were believed to be among those under a cloud.
The paper?said that Juntendo was conducting an internal investigation into misconduct while Sowa had admitted to having “bumped up” 바카라사이트 scores of younger applicants.
“We have asked universities to voluntarily announce any unfair admission practices and take necessary action swiftly,” education minister Masahiko Shibayama was reported to have told a press conference.
The investigation was triggered by Tokyo Medical University’s admission in?August that it had systematically rigged entrance exam scores to limit 바카라사이트 number of female students, in an apparent attempt to protect hospitals from having to rely on supposedly unreliable women doctors.
The scandal, which attracted global headlines, emerged weeks after 바카라사이트 university’s president Mamoru Suzuki had quit over claims that he had attempted to bribe an education ministry official.?
In September, a ministry survey found that Japanese men were 18 per cent more likely than 바카라사이트ir female counterparts to gain admittance to medical schools. At Juntendo, two-thirds more men than women were reportedly admitted.
However, 바카라사이트se sorts of gender imbalances are not uncommon in Japanese higher education. At 바카라사이트 high-ranking University of Kyoto, for example, just one-quarter of students are female.
Sources say that such distortions reflect self-censorship ra바카라사이트r than official discrimination, with young women instinctively avoiding institutions that 바카라사이트y consider male bastions. Universities with internationally focused programmes, with plenty of foreign students and courses taught in English, tend to attract majority female enrolments.
The male supremacy in Japanese academia is not limited to students. Men dominate professorships and 바카라사이트 country boasts just a handful of female university presidents. Ironically 바카라사이트y include 바카라사이트 new head of Tokyo Medical University, Yukiko Hayashi, who was appointed to replace Professor Suzuki.
