Japan Cuts G-30 Program

2010/12/20

Earlier on this blog we talked about Japanese students' unwillingness to go abroad and the lack of internationalization in Japanese Education. One plan the government envisioned to help combat this was the Global 30, or G-30, program, designed to increase the number of foreign students studying in Japan by providing degree programs in foreign languages and to increase the number of Japanese students studying abroad. The plan was to bring 300,000 international students to Japan, more than doubling the current number, and send the same number of Japanese students to universities overseas, with the eventual goal of improving international collaboration and globalization in the business sector. The program, however, has now been cut, and there is no immediate plan to rectify the problem of Japan's continually inward-looking universities. Read more about this in the Mainichi Daily.
