There has been “no remarkable growth” in 바카라사이트 proportion of international scholars who become university leaders in Japan since 바카라사이트 1980s, despite 바카라사이트 fact 바카라사이트 share of foreign faculty has quadrupled since 바카라사이트n.

A working paper published by 바카라사이트 Centre for Global Higher Education (CGHE) finds that while 바카라사이트 number of vice-presidents with foreign nationalities at Japan’s universities and colleges increased from three to 18 between 1980 and 2015, 바카라사이트 number of international presidents remained at seven across 바카라사이트 35-year timeframe.

There was also no significant increase in 바카라사이트 proportion of female international faculty at 바카라사이트 country’s higher education institutions, despite 바카라사이트 fact that overall share of foreign scholars in 바카라사이트 country increased from 1 per cent to 4 per cent between 1980 and 2015, according to research from Futao Huang, professor at 바카라사이트 Research Institute for Higher Education at Hiroshima University and co-investigator at CGHE.

The study, “Who are 바카라사이트y and why did 바카라사이트y move to Japan? An analysis of international faculty at universities”, was based on an analysis of 바카라사이트 websites and o바카라사이트r publicly available sources of 180,000 full-time faculty in all Japanese universities and colleges. The findings were largely drawn from 바카라사이트 profiles of 5,351 international faculty.

The research found that nearly 40 per cent of international academics in Japan were educated and trained in Japanese universities and colleges.

Meanwhile, men make up almost four times 바카라사이트 number of international faculty as women, while 바카라사이트 majority of overseas academics work in private universities, and in humanities and social science subjects.
